I would say pretty well, the TG bit was very unfair as they set the car up so it would roll.

It’s the worst of their worst faked bits

Reliant built 3 wheelers for 65 yrs

Considering they produced three-wheelers for 65 years it’s a stretch to call the Robin an engineering disaster. Also the ‘roll overs’ on TG were faked by using a 10” rear wheel on one side and 12” on the other.

Not really a Lotus just one that GM, Lotus owners at the time, asked them to tweak. I doubt it was a financially successful model for GM but will have helped improve the perception of GM’s European brands.

Big difference between Land Rover reliability and Range Rover/Discovery reliability. I’m betting a very large percentage of the 70% still on the road are Land Rovers.

Brilliant video as always. I had two Rover SD1’s Scalextric cars, one in Triplex colours and the other was the Patrick Motor Sport car that Chris drives brilliantly in the video.

Lovely two tone brown Dodge Omni. My very first car was a Talbot Horizon, Chrylser Europe’s version, it too was two tone brown but mine was mixture of brown paint and rust.

I thought part of the plan was to introduce larger diameter rims with lower profile tires to mimic road cars?

Or this years Indycars

Loving the cutaway T3 Squareback!

Thing is the new plant would cost significantly less than building a conventional plant. The supply chain is designed so that the parts can be made locally and not require shipping thousands of miles.

It’s not just the car he’s designed but a whole supply, logistics and production process which is designed to make the car much more cost effective to make. It is more than likely this that is the cause of it not being put into production. It really will take someone without the normal automative manufacturing baggage…

Good! The verbal diarrhea is what puts me off playing online.

Maybe you are thinking of Lancia, which pulled out of the UK market, but Alfa are very much available.

I beg to differ, plenty of drag V Dubs in the UK

Their contracts all ended two or three days after the annoucement was made which stated that his contract would not be renewed. They were filming the last segments and studio pieces when the fracas took place causing the show to be suspended. If he was fired his contract would have been cancelled, it was not, it was…

He wasn’t fire, simply his TG contract was not renewed due to the incident. It was fortunate that the contract was almost up so the BBC could easily not renew and not have to pay out the remainder.

Agreed! Just like TG UK, it’s taken time for the chemistry to grow between the presenters of TG US. Leno would be terrible, I enjoy his web shows but they are nice and short, an hour of him would be too much.

Not an intern
