It was great to see Top Gear back but does anyone else agee that, for a 1 hr show, there was very little content to interest the real petrol (or diesel) head. Building roads, interviewing celebs etc is more general light entertainment than car show eh? Exotica is great however I would also like to see more run of the mill models being put through their paces.
I remember years ago Tiff Needel on Top Gear's previous incarnation, was driving the newly launched Ford Focus with 3 passengers on board. At 50mph he (using the hand brake) threw the car into a 360 degree spin then calmly continued ahead. This was some of the most amazing car TV I have ever seen and, without words, demonstrated the leap ahead the Focus represented over it's predecessor. Regular car, great TV.
Any thoughts?

Top Gear is not real about cars now day, its just a fun show about UK day to day life with cars, the road works was the best part.
Can you send the link out or PM it to me?
Thanks
