I liked last nights. A minor point but in the white-tiled restaurant where May/Clarkson were eating - the tiles were out of line slightly. It annoyed me.
That was clearly a posh resturant but the walls were directly from a 70's bog. Ug.
As for GA, the brassy blonde doesn't suit her at all. She carried the redhead thing off so well.
Say what!
Well I now want a new Mazda MX5.
Nice.
Quite liked last nights. I switched over (as usual) for the star plugs their new show (or book) segment.
I love the MX5- I think the latest one is shockingly ugly though. Much like the MK3 was dull.
That XF Coupe, well for once for a Jaaaag it looked Ok. I've seen a few in the flesh in Town and they do make a racket but then most of the drives/owners are idiots in the first instance so nothing new there.
However if you get to see one up close it really is quite nice... for a jaaaaag.
As for the MX5 I'm happy they've moved on with the design, it was starting to look like all MX5's were made in the 90's and we all know what the 90's brought us.
Thought the rallyX was a good watch with the inevitable results, but still overall good fun.
I'd still give the Program 7/10 for effort.

Really? Apart from the lights looking a little too small, I thought it was a thing of particular beauty.

It was an F-Type coupe with Carbon-Ceramic brakes...

...and it looked amazing and they are loud!
Even the V6 versions make a lovely noise but I agree with Jeremy. It would annoy you or your neighbours in a very short time.
Doesn't offend me at all.

Oh and Jeremy, that big furry hat you put in the boot was a bearskin, not a busby.
The [b]F[/b] Type Coupe was gorgeous and the noise was fantastic.
Bit more of a sensible episode last night but still enjoyed it. Really looking forward to Mad Max too.
The rallycross bit got my attention. That's a motorsport I'm going to go and see. Short races with total commitment get my vote.
Colleague of mine has a V6 F-Type Coupe. It looks ace, sounds gorgeous and you can get a 42" TV in the boot. Seriously 🙂

Did anyone pick up on Nicholas Hoult saying something about remembering "what Riccardo told me" just before his lap?
Could Riccardo be the Stig?
Riccardo Patrese?
"What Riciardo did"
Was what he said, i.e. he watched the show a few weeks ago and saw Riciardo on it.
The stig will still be Ben Edwards. All of the public shaming etc was just for show so Ben could promote a book or two and make a bit of money.
Having had to replace a few windscreens in cars over the years I was wondering how an owner of that expensive car with the £15k one-off windscreen would do if a crack developed.

Well it didn't work very well as he's called Ben Collins.

that windscreen diatribe seemed a bit excessive tho - it's a curved glass, I'm quite sure that someone will be able to make them
I realised last night that I've never seen Mad Max; although I have a feeling that they may have dated somewhat now
they may have dated
Nah, they were set in the future, so they'll seem even more accurate now.
Probably.
Really enjoyed last nights, the Jags were great, but I nearly had an 'accident' when the Eagle E-Type came on; OM ****ing G! What a beautiful car, and what a great noise it makes!
The rallycross was great fun, I love watching it on telly, but I had no idea those cars packed as much 'go' as that, 600 ponies! 😯
And the new MX-5; stunning, a really lovely, desirable little car, I think they've got the styling exactly right, it's 'face' has a sort of mock-fierce, cheeky sort of expression, and the rest of the body has been sharpened up, which it really needed.
Reminds me a bit of the BMW Z4, but prettier. Not a fan of Beemer styling, the Z4 is the only one I actually like, but the MX-5 knocks spots off it, as far as I'm concerned.
I'd dearly, dearly love one, please, can I have my lottery win now, please?
gettin back to Gillian, sorry late on this thread - @convert - was it in The Cube, London, Jan 2001, co-shared with the Sony Music belated-due-to-year-2000-world-could-end-so-we-delayed-it-christmas party - cos i was there and i saw her too.
