On the other hand if you like the Jaguar XK8 there was quite a lot of that in there ;)

They seem to like the paint, I REALLY don't, I did like watching the wheels be machined from aluminium blocks but the car is definitely not to my taste.

I thought it was Ok for what it was but they narrowed a Anti roll bar by welding which is a no no and did not mention how they came up with 200mm narrower steering rack to match the subframe.

Does it still feature the gentleman who eats a lot of pies, and speaks with a different accent to Edd?

The fat mockney is still the "front man". He has toned it down a lot from earlier series but still needs to sign himself up for lessons in basic English.

Agreed, we can't be seen to be having a dig at chubbers, estuary-dwelling Mockneys or ****ers, that would be plain wrong.

It has gone off the boil since they started doing larger budget cars. Still better than most of the rubbish on television though.
