I'm just glad too see so many of you were busy watching my 3rd outing. It makes me feel al warm and gooey inside.

The retard bit and the slalom down the stairs were quality moments as of course was the pope mobile itself, lol.

And i dont have any kind of + system myself either....but i do have a TV that records to a hard disc

You can do whatever you like to your own car including changing the body, engine etc.
Just have to keep to a few rules like lights etc. and then pass an MOT when due. I'm sure they relied on the TVR's MOT still being valid.

Sounds well dodgy, but good viewing.

Did anyone else think this week's episode was a bit lame? Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find the electric car bit that funny. I thought it was all too staged, IYKWIM?

The stuff last week with finding that road in Romania was amazing - maybe they blew the budget on that trip and that's why, this week, they had to resort to dicking around in a shed for half the episode. IMO that kind of stuff is always better when they're building/modifying stuff to try & beat each other.

Anywho, hope next week's is better...

No where near as good as last week.

Its like that every week, you just need to look at it as a better version of a soap opera lol. You are right though, i read the budget was lower this season. £80,000 an episode usually, if remember correctly.

i thought it was funny especially the crash test's and the hamster whinging on the dual class haha.

Just incase anyone that missed it on Sunday, cannot access iPlayer for whatever reason then it's on again tonight, bbc2 at 8.

Must admit that a lot of it I found cringeworthy. Driving round in the electric car, getting on everyone's t1ts, wasn't especially funny and the bit during the news where they got the guy up was so contrived I really struggled to watch it. I hate to say it, as it has always been one of my favourite programmes, but I think they are really struggling to keep it fresh now.
