T0sser I thought, regardless of his choice, but the way he summed them up p1ssed me off....

Noble came 3rd.....too much of a boy racer's car, and you should expect more for your money.

Esprit came 2nd....looks too dated, and needs a facelift

Tuscan was 1st choice....gentleman's sportscar, and will hold its value as its rare.

He knew all, and sounded like a gimp. All IMHO of course.

... seconded!

His only descrption of a gearbox was "clunky", must have used the word at least fifty times in the show.

I'm surprised he could pull his head from being so far up his arse to see where he was going!

He came across as a bit of a plonker - but I think the thing was he's not a petrolhead - he didn't know what to say really.

He chose the Tuscan, but he really needs one of those MG RV8 things. I'm sure he didn't buy a Tuscan really -probably went out and bought an MGF of something with a less clunky gearchange.

Does anyone have these results that they might be able to scan/post for those of us whose car magazines cater to the manufacturers? Thanks.

That was my car on the show. That bloke would have been more suited to a show looking at second hand hand bags than sports cars.

He said the TVR was a real tiger!!!!! Chase me Chase me???
