It will only make you very angry if you watch it, but it's funny! 3 blokes making a right pig's ear out of what a Locostbuilder could do with one arm tied behind his back.

Just watched it, wouldnt have been good tv if they did it how it should be done!

Sometimes I wish an MK was that easy!

Does a caterham kit actually come like that or have they prebuilt some before they start filming?

That summerises topgear though doenst it.
- Take something that any of the viewers would give a right arm for, then totally and utterly bleep it.

Buy a super car for a grand
Drive a highlux over the antartic
Drop a vintage diesal from a crane
Run a trackday bmw on unsuitable fuel
Play conkers with (fairly nice) caravans
Get to have a one off pre-production car
Slap race brakes and tyres on a MPV and kill them

I like a lot of the show, but there is just so much wantan tasteless distruction it does may you a little sad.
