The biggest concern is Thor's ability to play an James Hunt - a lean Englishman. I asked Alistair Caldwell, McLaren team manager during the 70s what he thought. He said seeing Thor as James Hunt was 'uncanny' and gave him 'goosebumps'. So there you go. I'll reserve judgement until I see it though

Bristol Blenheim! Are these guys having acid flashbacks? Not traditionally pretty but it's a dashing, brutish, upper crust, cad of a motor with a ferocious engine

I have not got a clue what this is but it looks ace!

Jaguar XJS! OK, its not up to E-type standards but the XJS is an awesome car and certainly not ugly

have you heard the new album, Matt? It's utterly brilliant

It's. Just. Horrible

Now playing

Porsche Carrera GT. Sounds like an F1 car. Your argument is invalid

This is amazing! Hope he gets the car! We need camera crews! Action! It'll be like Silence of the Lambs - oh wait, cops got the wrong house then. No, Clarice got the right house. Send Jodie Foster in. She'll get Buffalo Beetlesnatcher

Just been for a spin in the old girl And took this which I've put through snapseed. It's got a full stainless steel exhaust. Sounds fruity!

NOW you're talking. This is mine. Bought for £1300 4 weeks ago. Not the best colour but mechanically sound. Fantastic car

Some petrolheads hold the mk2 GTE in great reverence. I had a Nova SR 24 years ago. Not really any fond memories of it though!

The Pontic LeCraps is a rebadged Vauxhall Belmont which was a dreadful car over here in the UK. The floorpan wobbled like nothing I've seen, and felt, before. You could actually feel it flexing beneath your feet.

Unfortunately I know the answer, in the UK at least. It's the Audi RS6 Avant. Followed by BMW M5 then Mercedes SL. i.e. anything fast is unreliable because its stuffed with tech that goes wrong, but that also makes it go fast - http://www.speedmonkey.co.uk/2012/11/the-mo…

BMW/MINI have completely and utterly lost the plot. This is a car for pimps, gangsters and fat, kerb crawling, middle aged men who wear womens underwear

Dear Detroit Electric/Raphael

I see Thanks. A TVR Tuscan would have looked better if they were going to go for a straight copy

True. I drove the new Mitsubishi Outlander recently. Has a 2.2 diesel with 150bhp. It's then further strangled by a reluctant auto box to comply with Euro emissions regs. Was frustrating to drive

An I being thick or does it look like a Lotus Elise that's been in the gym?

I don't really know. But a biscuit is a biscuit is a biscuit in English. These are English cookies - much more sugary

Nooooooo. We English eat biscuits with tea. Not cookies. The best biscuits are covered in chocolate, like these
