When I was looking for a car in Miami, ten years ago or so, I called to inquire about a really nice older M Benz.
*Hi, I would like to go check out your car.*
*Do you have the cash in your hand right now?*
*Ermmm, no?*
*Call back when you have it. Clicks.*
Such a fucking wanker.

They still look fresh when you spot one. I bet it would be a great project with a more modern engine.
The Racing Puma was another one I craved, even though it wasn't really worth the extra money. I remember finding a website claiming it could be imported from Europe for about the cost of a normal 1.4l one at the time (I think it was about £13,000) and I almost persuaded my dad to get one (would never have worked out as they couldn't be imported from Europe). I still search for them every now and then on the internet. Being both awesome, of a very limited initial run and totally pointless in real terms makes them fairly scarce these days.Quote:

Yeah, nobody bought them because they were barely any better but pitched (price-wise) against more powerful Japanese things. I think they were a bit ahead of their time in terms of styling, like the BMWs that came through in the early 2000s looking all bloated and weird, but in hindsight seem to have led the way.
Was that to Australia? They don't seem to like people importing stuff. I bet it's easier to open an off-licence on aboriginal land than register a left-hand drive car.
No, to Guernsey.
The problem was there weren't any in the EU/Europe to buy/sell - they were all just sold in the UK (I think). The website I found was some sort of VAT dodge as I recall, and it listed the Racing Puma as an option, but for various reasons that never happened.
I don't know why they didn't bother with the performance a bit more. It was a cracking little car.
Fucking Ed Byrne.
Ffs I said last week it was a who's who of BBC shit cunts.
That Dodge though. :drool:
Yep, I fucking love an American muscle car.
I also liked that they used it to help bring in a U2/ER2 which is an amazing plane. You need a week of training just to go up in it as a passenger.
I also love Joey though. Class guy.
Jesus Christ it's O'Brien too. Fuck this.
I have as hoping after last week they'd binned the interview section altogether.
Same. That's the first time I've skipped the guest bit, other than Dave repeats.
The egg bit in the 2CV was fairly fastfowardworthy.
It's been done to death at this stage anyway.Quote:

Another nobody.
Jason Manford? Nope.
Lol at the Renault bursting in to flames.
Edit: in fact every single guest has been utterly shite.
The fact it gets half the viewers it used to probably stops the really famous people from turning up, but they can surely still do better than middling BBC players.
Liked the SUV bit. Really enjoyed the series as a whole. :)
Me too. Thought the whole thing was really good.
I'd sack off the guest bit altogether if they're not ever going to get anybody properly famous but otherwise I've enjoyed this series. It seemed they barely had any bits with all three of them this time and I'd like to see them get a proper special but if the viewer numbers are down I guess that may not happen.
LeBlanc leaving.

Fuck sake.
They should just let Harris and Reid do it as a two and play up their differences, but watch them get a woman in.
They're way past that now. Gender fluid.Quote:

Ugh.
:sick:
And Rory Reid only doing the extra thing as well.
What? Why?
Harris still there?
That's amazing. They must have thought long and hard about whether they could find a worse pair. Redknapp and Corden?
This will kill it with any luck and then it can be rebooted properly in few years time.
Freddie Flintoff's media career is the opposite of the gift that keeps on giving. The thief that keeps on stealing?
That's fucking hilarious.

Harris will be there attempting to give a shit about cars but really just wishing he was dead.Quote:

Didn't realise it was coming back already.
Watched it. Underwhelmed.
The hashtag they’ve used to advertise it got a shameful smile out of me.

I mean it worked on me when I saw it in the train station at 7am before my brain got it's act together.
That was quite a good one. That McLaren Senna - lame name aside - is incredible.
Was good, happy days. I hope they do just switch to permanent specials type things from next series though.
That McLaren is pig ugly though.
I though LeBlanc was leaving now with Paddy and Flintoff (fucking hell once more) coming in for this series.
I've just seen that LeBlanc's last is the one that starts soon so we get one more of the good trio.
I've got as far as where they're going around the city with the cameras. It's done lads, it's finally done.
Can't help but agree. Comes across as so tired.
I felt that way last season and I've yet to bother with any of the new ones.
I wouldn't, they're shit.
Do they still review cars now or is it just challenges at the bank of Amazon?
