Enjoyed the dads car segment - my old man had an Opel Ascona 2.0SR Auto - great car, he only passed his test a few months before me and I had a Cortina 1.6L so brought back memories all round

Not a fan of the new crew but found the Dad's cars quite entertaining and very touching.

Great episode. Loved the genuine relationship they each have with cars and entertained the whole family. IMO, so much better than the old presenters - constantly re-morphing into pastiches of themselves from 2006 and throwing out old Top Gear phrases on social media like performing monkeys.

I watched Dancing on Ice.
I'll catch TG in the next few days and decide if I made the right choice.
(Like I had a choice with MrsG in charge of the remote. )

After all my years with Capris, I took one look at the Cortina pulling away from that shed and thought 'needs the valve stem seals doing'. Good old Pinto engines.
