Those scoops the right way up Martin...

Sundays episode caused a bit of a ruckus. Accusations that the writers are glorifying bullying by having big guy manhandling little guy for cheap laughs. Have to say I find it pretty poor the writers setting FF up as a dumb oath. Lazy writing, has to be better. Otherwise a step up on previously.

Point at your ears whilst shouting at the top of your voice 'I have had an accident and temporarily cannot hear a thing'

As above buy everything used you will be gutted otherwise when your £600 pram gets bartered and vomited in and it’s worth £50 6 months later...will have a dig around in the loft for stuff but am over in Surrey mate

I had a VX220 when Alfie was born he loved it! But yes don’t panic buy a massive SUV you will not need it, babies don’t need all the crap these modern magazines/books/websites tell you you should buy

Congrats and life will change, it will be immeasurably more fulfilling And in my experience, kids generally love sports cars, so you are off to a flyer already!

It's been 3 days, thats nothing. I found selling performance cars usually takes 2-5 weeks usually. List it on Gumtree, accept that you get a lot of time wasters but it is free. Copy paste the ad and only allow contact via email and have a copy paste response ready to the incoming queries. Put on other sites like motors.co.uk and carandclassic which are also free. Same rules apply as above be prepared to deal with spammers. ebay I have found to be pretty effective, I recently sold my Celica GT4 via Pistonheads. Autotrader is a bit of a waste of time for performance cars, I have never had a nibble from any ads on there.

Today is the kind of day these cars were made for

From experience it will be along the lines that mods are approving disproving these on their mobiles wedged between work and life commitments. To then have time to follow up with a description/discussion is sometimes not feasible, you will be surprised with how many issues around for sale ads have to be dealt with each week on top of all the other administration work they have to do that goes largely unseen by the community. This isn't aimed at you specifically Rob, the rules are very black and white, when creating an advert make sure you tick all the boxes on your before submitting and it will go through. If you feel it did, then PM a few mods with your advert, demonstrate it ticks all the boxes and I am sure one will try get back to you.

Man up. I drive a VX220 around London no problem

I kind of wonder if the three of them spent a few months down the pub together before filming as they really get on well. It is a great start though and if they can work some changes into the format even better.

Yes I think Clarkson et al have hit the end, they do look terrible and their humour is out of date. Additionally they seem to lack any energy, they just lumber about slowly requiring a fork lift to get them in and out of sports cars. It's quite embarrassing now.

What time do you fire up the bbq Chris?

I agree the formula is still the same, but have given up expecting TG to be anything else, they aren't going to change it.

There is an instagram post of Clarkson May Hammond sat on bikes in some Asian city, I saw it and honestly thought they looked old and past it still trying to do something they were doing 20 years ago. It looked a bit sad really.

Watched the first 25 mins of last nights episode and honestly was in tears with the handling course. It was puerile stuff but for some reason entertaining. I do think McGuinness is a better on screen character than Flintoff you can tell the TV training makes a difference. Harris seems to be enjoying himself more too and is much less playing the small angry man character he has played previously.

Not sure if anyone has been watching but a good start - surprisingly good cohesion between the three, a few cringe-worthy moments but overall pretty good. The second episode of Flintoff and Harris shocking McGuinness had me literally in stitches. Loving the McLaren Ferrari reviews too - think I would prefer the Ferrari though.

On the drive up from London to Edinburgh the guys in the zeds were doing it on one tank. And there was some fun driving there too.

90% of the time I drive my cars in daylight!

If you go through Surrey pick us up we can convoy!

Looks a bit chavvy to me as a guy in his mid forties but it’s all personal preferences!

In terms of requirements, the Golf is longer than the 370z and just 1.5inches narrower, hardly satisfying requirement 1 really? Personally, I think OP needs to ditch the requirement for road presence as per the above. You are going for a compromise car so things like that which exist in cars at more extreme ends of the market you are not going to find on run of the mill wagons with a bit of beefing up on the suspension and engine.

GIven how light the seats are I am hoping for a cost around the £50 mark to get them posted back. He said he can take them up in the car next time he is in London.
