Ekona Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think you misunderstand me: I don't want a deadly serious car review programme. I want how TG used to be 10 years ago, when the balance was spot-on. DRIVE manages to get a great balance still, and is arguably the spiritual successor to TG of that era. No doubting the popularity of TG has increased since they ditched the more sensible stuff, I just think that as car people we should consider that a shame rather than a celebration.

Zedd Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Anyways, I'll leave this thread now, as clearly TG is not aimed at folks like me. What happened to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 People were still being wrong Chris Harris is far more entertaining than Hammond or May when they're doing TG. When they're doing other stuff, that's a bit different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Have you seen his more recent stuff? He was dull as ditchwater at first, but he's far more likeable these days. His P1 video is a classic, but I actually think his F40 vs F50 was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 in this 22 minute long video i think i saw about 10 seconds (5 in the f40 and 5 in the f50) in total of him appearing enthusitic excited the rest of it looked and sounded like he was in a business meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
