Just a heads up as I didn't see it advertised - it's on Quest at 9pm Thursdays

I can see why it wasn't going to be renewed, the format is very old and tired now - and people moaned about Top Gear.... :roll:

They still waste half the running time with Tiff and Plato having a 3 (meaningless) round 'shootout' between two cars finishing with a staged 'race' around a track...

The segment on the potential replacement of TX4 black cabs with an electric model was interesting though....

I watched it. Top gear in it's prime it isn't. Found it ok to be fair. Definitely worth a watch if you have a spare hour. I too liked the electric cab bit, but also enjoyed the ds7 bit too. A few laughs in there

What? A non S Boxster is better than one of the finest examples of our beloved Z available. Did she get above 3000?
Guess it is bombproof compared to some 987 Boxster engines

The £8K comment made me laugh. Maybe a Cat D with 120k miles.

What a mismatch of different engines. Could they not get models that matched up on paper . Eg SLK55/Z4M/Coxster S or SLK350/ Z4 3.0/ Coxster.

Yeah that was a slightly bizzare comparison as a standard Z4 3.0 could be had for less than 8k . I'd love to know if the owner of the z4m would sell for £8000 lol
