I got the dvd for xmas, it's very good! I think it's a clarkson v may as they are both slanging cars each other have owned. Hence the reason clarkson crushed the panda!

I think form James' point of view he's right! He doesn't like vulgar and brash.

What the fuck does James May actually know about cars anyway?? I know its just joking around mind, just to annoy Clarkson. But I would enjoy running him over in an escort cosworth.

Enough for him to be on one of the most, if not the most popular car tv shows in the world and has written for various car mags including autocar and top gear.

James may is a clever guy and knows more than he lets on.

Which tv car show and magazines do you work for? Lol

The point he raised was valid though, 1st edition laggy because of the bigger turbo and then the new and improved version comes with less power typical of ford
