Technically the 8 is not a coupe either so who know what criteria they used.

Love the show, one of my favorite ones is the Evo 8 and STI comparison.
Which one? I think there are 5 of them... But yeah, that's always a really good show when they have the STI and Evo going at it.

I have a beef with Stig's lap times... Namely, a couple of the heavier Audi and VW cars post slightly faster times, but we know that they fall off after the front tires heat up. Namely the R32 is particularly bad. Some of the Alfas aren't so great with this either.

BBC2not4U......

Unless you have some new cable channels I don't know about, you won't be watching it - BBC2 is UK only.

You may see it in a year or two.

...or not.

S

(does anyone have access to BBC2?
or have a friend in Blighty who could make us a video file?
I asked (politely ) on the UK owners forum, but they have been, so far, spectacularly unhelpful. I don't expect any help from there....)

Cool Internet savvy....

My internet 'mAdD skILLz' are at the dry-cleaners, I have no idea about the actual "how" of recording it, and I'm too shy to ask Ike how he watches. It aint easy being old & stoopid.....

Every time I look at the Brera I think Crossfire meets Tiburon.

just downloaded and watched.... and the new show tonight has to be one of the worst TGs I've seen, excepting the great Bugatti Veyron run they started off with.

The rest was truly pathetic (and a waste of time) watching dumass English blokes in paisley and plaid NOT do anything interesting for way too long on a show supposedly about cars.

Not to mention the 3 car ah hem "review" was a yawn and stupidly done to boot.

Did I say I didn't really like this show much?
