Really! The cheap challenges are always contrived, but always make me laugh. The fact that they are doing more, shows that the audience research has concluded that they are popular.

But does anyone remember which magazine was the very first to do a 'budget car challenge...?

That was the second one, but was the first with 4 cars. Silvia, XR4i, Jag XJ-S
(that cost Ł750 and did 149.7mph!!!) and a Granada 2.8iS which was mine. We had sooo much fun doing that, and also rammed into each others cars whenever we pulled up!

Average at best.

How many times did they need to do the tired ram into the back of the other's car joke?

The first show of this series looked very promising, there were no crap obviously scripted jokes and predictable comedy, but sadly last week and this one have shown they are running out of ideas

You are officially weird!
My dad bought a brand new J reg one, on recommendation of my stupid fucking stepmum, it was the biggest sack of shit hes ever owned.
She, by strange coincidence had the same Spider as Hamster, and that was a steaming pile of wank too.

I drove them both, and fail to see the appeal....
