The worlds lamest promo trailer for the new series

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjQgHvH-rIQ

I'm reminded of this advert. TG will continue to get worse and people will lap it up.

I actually wanted to put the thing out of its misery when I saw it at Pod a few weeks ago. A proper waste of a Saph, Cosworth or otherwise. Anyone that calls mine a heap will be pointed directly at that and asked to rethink their statement.

How exactly is it a waste?

It was never going to win any concourse competitions even when it was a full car, the paint job on it was terrible it has had a full front end at some point and the crossmember and half a chassis leg replaced bady. Wenny only ever bought it to break anyway but decided to have some fun in it first before he did, and a bit of an experiment to see how fast he could go in it with a basically std engine playing with the power to weight side of it.

We painted it pink because we knew it would wind some people up, and looks like it did

I'm of the belief you buy a car it's yours to do with what you like if you wanna break it publicly trash it do a restoration or whatever then that's upto the owner no matter what kind of car it is

They all have 5k to buy a fast machine from the 80s 90s that they have to take to the ring...
Something about people buying trackday cars as 2nd cars but what car can you buy now that will do the same but can be used everyday as a main car also..

Or even better make a car programme worth watching They used to make one a few years back. it was on BBC2 on Sundays. Recently they've just had some random version of "Last of the summer wine" filled with people falling over. Only difference I can see is that it's filmed in Guildford

i really hope that saff dont get fooked, and sorry ir this next bit is a repeat,as i went straight to reply thread.

I read in the radio times about the new series and there was a pic of the merc cossie e190 and something about a budget of 5 grand 80's sports car challenge if that helps.

If clarkson and the guys wreckthe saff cossie they will be getting loads more letters of complaint than the guys in the morris marina owners club i can assure you, and like many have said on here i will hate them forever if they trash the saff..

Can see this episode causing an all out war on owners clubs sites...

Clarkson in a cossie.. Hammond in an E36 and may.. well it doesn't matter what he's in because he never wins.

So lets see... Jezza never bothers slowing down properly and rams into hammonds cars... it doesn't really matter what they're doing or what they're driving, so there's the first lot of dents... Can't wait to see it.

I'm going to laugh if it's a replica challenge though!
