Interestingly, I think the airport vehicle racing was shown in the montage for what was coming up in the LAST series, but it never did.and next week sounds even better

Didn't think it was that great but then again I was doing other stuff as well so my full concentration was not there. 
my dad used to have one, it was a mk1 and certainly shifted for 165bhp! Talk about turbo boost!

I'd love to know how the person who come up with the kit chose those spring and damper rates.

I also didn't think the episode was great. Didn't laugh once 
Maybe the gay jokes, ramming each others cars and hammer jokes are losing their appeal.

Even the caravan feature was pretty much all about the Lambo, with a bit of TG sillyness thrown in. The Lancia stuff, particularly the first film, was fantastic. It was what the moaners have been saying there isn't enough of, yet people are still saying 'OMG CRAP LOL' 
There's just no pleasing some people.

I can see the lancia stuff not appealing to the younger viewer though most probably never heard of them, I thoroughly enjoyed it though
Completely, sitting with my mate, mates younger brother and a few of his friends watching top gear tonight, they were shocked i knew they were talking about lancia before they said it and didnt have a clue who they were. Shocking.I can see the lancia stuff not appealing to the younger viewer though most probably never heard of them, I thoroughly enjoyed it though
Pretty shocking and I agree that run was awful. The rest were done pretty fairly by the looks. But that one you could tell they weren't trying.
Sadly I'm not shocked in the slightest by that.

That would have been a good episode had it not been blatantly scripted from start to finish, at least it was interesting.
Contained 2 cars I really want, and may fall within reach before too long.
Also annoyed to see they've been the usual media ****-heads about getting hold of cars. The staff there are far too used to getting a demo car from a manufacturer and ragging it, they need to learn how to respect people's property when its lent to them.
