    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.

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.

    That was another one in blue. Must have been the time.

    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.

    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.

    Same. That's the first time I've skipped the guest bit, other than Dave repeats.

    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.

    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.

    They should just let Harris and Reid do it as a two and play up their differences, but watch them get a woman in.

    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?

    What are they thinking? The statement put out in Harris' name sounded like he had been kidnapped.

    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.

    Do they still review cars now or is it just challenges at the bank of Amazon?
