They have done an Atom yes but not the V8 version....the last one was slow compared to this one.......

Also Hammond looks back on the Porsche 911 and how it has evolved, looking forward to that.

 

[Parisien]

Still...their repartee and banter is the main reason I watch it!

Ha ha as Clarkson says, Porche designers....laziest in the industry!

Looking forward to the show though.

you not a fan of 911's then Matt?

The Beetle you mean?

I used to like TG but now imo it's become the same dross week in week out which does'nt properly test cars. It's the three of them self indulging by driving from some weird place to another but it's been done to death!

For me the stand out moments were

1) Race to Edinburgh, Bike Vs Steam Train Vs. Jaguar.
2) Rock climbers vs Audi RS4 (final nail in the coffin to make me go out and order one!!)
3) EVO FQ 400 beating a Lambo on the track
4) Bugatti Veyron Vs SLR in Abu Dhabi
5) Maserati Quatrroporte Vs Porsche Panamera Vs ???? at Farnborough iQ

And after that it's some silly camper van to boat weirdness!!!

 

[GransportFan1]

Rock Climbers vs RS4 was a great test, seen it thousands of times but still enjoy watching it.

 

[Parisien]

Loved the treks across Vietnam, S America, and the one with the Vauxhall called Oliver.................epic stuff...

[GransportFan1]

I liked the race to Oslo, that was a class episode.

 

[Andyk]

Its entertainment and thats what matters......Just take it for what it is and don't take it too seriously as I'm sure they don't.
