ROFL, my 899cc engine vibrates, but I doubt it's the huge amount of
torque. What rubbish!

I quite like the Aygo/107/C1 though.

Missed the first ten minutes, so I'll be interested to see if there's
any T2000 bashing!

Good bits:

Clarkson in a Range Rover being chased round Salisbury Plain by a
Challenger Tank.

Auto-football with the Toyota Aygo. I was wondering how long it would
take before metal got bent!

James Nesbitt's impressive 'off' in a reasonably-priced car.

Clarkson and Hammond arguing over the Chrysler on the Cool Wall, only
resolved by Jezza flinging the picture as far off camera as possible.

Dull bits:

That horrible Honda whatsit. A cross between a Disco and a Brinks-Mat
security van.

I can see why it's not in this country. I quite like Hondas, I
probably wouldn't buy one, but for the right person they do good cars.
Other than this one they all look very acceptable too.

I think the old folks summed it up :
"I think it will be good for a young mother taking her kids to school"

No he didn't. He said something like "There is so much torque that you can
actually hear it growl..."

No, it's because it's a piece of twat-driven mass produced italian tin-box
shite.

Google for Peter McMillan and "pinking"

Then you'll discover why he gets the thrashing. Well, that and constantly
piping up with things he knows utterly fuck all about.

It's less stupid than expecting to feel vibrations from a Mercedes V8.
