That's about all the shows good for, just amazed people keep watching these idiots, I see James May managed to crash a airship with a caravan slung underneath at 2mph, pity they didn't charge them for the chaos it caused to traffic on the A428 between St Neots and Cambridge.

I am no fan either Brian but just looking at the cars they took, there is no way they could do something totally negative and remain credible amongst car enthusiasts.

There will definitely be some mickey taken out of the brand and no doubt comments regarding rust but I think it will be a positive feature.

I was with the chap who owns the Fulvia a couple of weeks ago and he showed me an e-mail he had had from the TG production office thanking him for the use of the car. They made some really nice comments how everyone had really enjoyed spending time with it.

Playing with fire really but fingers crossed.

Not the most informed of petrolheads are they Volvo owners! 034? Evo 3? I won't mention the different spelling of integrale! Just being a pedant, I'm missing not being a teacher anymore.

I really like the Fulvia 3 'HF' in the pics, having seen it many times for real, but it's a shame they couldn't find an authentic HF or even better, a Fanalone.

I'm looking forward to this episode. I'm sure there'll be some significant forum traffic at 9pm on that Sunday!

I think around the end of November - as the Stratos owner needs to have the engine rebuilt and it's going to be in the studio - check out the stratos super site forum where there are details.

The Fulvia HF lookalike is actually a Monte Carlo limited edition I think.

It's a Fulvia "3" in the style of a Monte Carlo, not an original. A very well prepared one too.

We may just have done our own bit of business around this for the BBC - watch this space!  Grin  I can take no credit at all - others got the call and sorted it, so well done to them.

James has a novel solution for getting caravans to campsites without clogging up the roads, and Jeremy hits the track in a remarkable replica of a legendary rally car. Plus Radio 2's Breakfast Show DJ-elect and all round petrolhead Chris Evans is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Could somebody please record this episode, as in South Africa our Top Gear programme is well behind the times?  Roll Eyes

Can you access BBC iplayer on the internet in South Africa? It will be on that next week.

Not sure if you can only view it in the UK.
