I enjoyed it. A little lacking in cars being a car show though. And I like the resonly fast car touch.

I was very good only thing I didn't like was the studio, a bit bright and soulless. FXXK was amazing, I do like CH.

Thought it was better than the GT.
Was that quarry not used by the old TG to do a timed race ?
Comment from MLB when cars being revealed from container that he hoped it wasn't a high mileage Maserati.

Similar format but well presented by MLB. Fezzer was something special right enough but utterly pointless as a car given you can't really drive it anywhere. The high milers film was good enough and hopefully makes some in UK rethink the fascination with low milers.........doubt it though. That GT looks fun with the skinny tyres.

Thought it was great...chris harris a cracking driver and really gets excited about special cars....great effort and 100% better without chris evans. And matt isnt annoying me this series.

The FXXK was awesome and I think it good that top end manufacturers occasionally build these pointless examples of what is possible. Pagani did it some years back with the Zonda R and like the FXXK they all sold it is somewhat similar to the design prototypes but these actually work.

I thought it was a vast improvement over GT and last years TG.

Rory was a bit wooden in the 'live' bits, however, I think he'll improve as he get used to the 'live' recording.
The main thing for me is that they are all car enthusiasts. Which can only be a good thing going forward.
Chris Evans not being there improved things by a factor of 1,000,000%

Good start for me. I actually liked the high mileage bit.

Much improved without CE, but did feel a bit like a bad Karaoke show, Think they should change the format completely, bit too much like trying to copy the old show With JC, RH, JM.

The Volvo has had a hard life. I checked out its history via the most history and it covered 87,000 miles in one year. Phenomenal. That's around 240 miles a day.
I wonder if it was an airport taxi?

He's Fooking usless. He'll get duller .

Eddie Jordon would have been better than him ...and i cant stand him,


They need people that are naturally funny and who are "a bit of a lad " And they arn 't.
That's because the BBC are politically correct these day and won t allow it .
This is the same reason that they dont have any sitcoms that are funny .

They used to make sitcoms like Men Behaving Badly , and Only Fools . They would nt be allowed to make then these days so instead you get Citizen Kahn ...... Utter sh1t written by a committee and double checked incase it offends someone .

Im affraid the show died two years ago and will never return .

Sounds like you pair just need to stop watching, you don't like the format or the people maybe you should go a lock yourselves a way in a cupboard and whinge at each other.

I also enjoyed it more than the old farts on GT. Although I have only seen the first episode of GT.

I thought it was ok, made me chuckle a few times.

Maybe a little wooden, but not a bad effort.

Looking forward to seeing the Giulia drift around next Sunday, looks like it's VS M3 etc
