Re: new UK Top Gear
I loved the Bentley - the green one, that is.
The mobility scooter item was fun. I guess they couldn't make it a straight race along the same route in case they won. Top Gear might pretend not to be politically correct but would never risk beating disabled soldiers in a race.

Am I the only person that fancies a 99 turbo after today's top gear?

Re: new UK Top Gear
Nope I'd love one. It was a good piece on Saab, trouble is their story would comfortably have filled the whole hour.
Re: new UK Top Gear
Almost a good piece on Saab, IMHO. May went to great trouble to explain why pingers can starve their bearings on the over run, but then neglected to explain why they fitted a freewheel, as found on other 2-strokes too, for that very reason. 
I did enjoy it though, and the 99 came out of that with its desirability not only intact but possibly increased. Yes, I wanted one too.

Re: new UK Top Gear
I noted the freewheel was missing from the piece, if he had chosen a later Saab 2 stroke it would have had it. (I didn't realise the earlier ones didn't).
