It's the Mirror, only good for wiping your arse or lighting fires

Wilman was a pretty good presenter on the old Top Gear, as well.

The only way it will survive is with a reboot, as much as I hate the culture of reboots. The triumvirate are irriplaceable but the format is not and all the fans can hope for is that the new show has the same quality and vibe, and that the new presenters are as natural with each other as Clarkson, May & Hammond.

Escamoles

Except he will probably be out of a job soon

So would Noel Edmonds

The Escort has 34/66 front/rear power split AWD, so you need beefier discs on the back.

Not OEM though

I'm hurting over the loss of TG but, when thinking objectively, I think it has run its course with both Clarkson & the BBC having about enough of each other. The past few seasons had been pretty poor in places, with too much silliness going on, but this season had seemed to turn a corner but still I think as shake up…

I never knew how advanced BL was until I saw this video of the TheFerrari and it's quartic steering wheel

The BBC is full of rich kids working fit peanuts, it is traditionally seen as a career choice fit upper class kids too stupid for the financial world and too wimpy fit the military.

The stuff he did, minus his chat show, between leaving old TG and starting new TG was really rather good. It would be great if he could build on that and do some more documentary style car shows, say each episode covering the history of various car makers.

I hate to be a pedant but he had not been fired

You and me both, I've been watching it since before you were an itch in your Dad's left nut

Now wasn't that a surprise. I wouldn't be surprise either if the 'Producer' involved was instructed to provoke Clarkson, thus giving the BBC an easy and cheap solution. As their contracts are up, the severence package would be minimal.

I'm guessing that as it was unvailed at the Bangkok Motor Show its going to be for the Asian market only. Saying that though, the car is so incredibly unsporty that this special edition certainly makes a mockery of things.

No but the design language at that time was different and neither Saturn version of the European Astra did well. THe new 2dr Astra may sell well now though, but I doubt it will come across the pond.

No one bought the 2 door Saturn Astra, which is the previous model, unlikely to get a 2 door Verano.

Pulled the trigger on a CX-5 today

I couldn't see those for the red leather gimp suit material, maybe it was my fruedian slip?!
