What a rip-roaring start to the new series. Wow! Utterly non-PC, tons of fun. lots of fabulous cars, silliness and did I mention cars? Something for young and old to enjoy apart from the Sunday Night Project dicks.
The boys are back in town and this opening was a corker. It started with a whirlwind tour of what we are going to see in the coming weeks. Incredible cars, fantastic scenery, lots of action.
The guys then decided to address the issue of fuel efficiency by racing a Ferrari, Aston Martin, McLaren Mercedes, Lamborghini and Audi R8 on one gallon of fuel. The Ferrari died after a shocking 1.7 miles! The best of the bunch was the R8 on 5 mpg. They then addressed the same issue for the average punter by racing a Prius against an M3. It turns out the M3 is more fuel efficient on the track. Oh I love these guys!
Highlight for my kids was the Austin Allegro raced backwards up a ramp to jump over a pile of cars to break the world record. The distance was pretty pathetic until it was pointed out that no record exists and therefore they now hold it!
The news segment was as funny as always with the ultra-cheap Tata causing much merriment. The only blot on the episode was the presence of the two unfunniest men in Britain doing a "star" in a reasonably priced car. It appears they are as good at driving as they are at entertaining.
Clarkson in the Scuderia was impressive. The Stig in the Scuderia was amazing. I have never seen a car on the show that stable on the track.
Roll on next week.
