Tonight on Top Gear, we've been given 50p each to buy non-German sports car...

The M5 review felt weak, but Kimi was funny, Slash was meh, and the rallycross/Ferrari bits were high points for the entire season. Good ep overall.

Hammond looks really tiny in the M5.

I'd like to see a special that's just James working on old cars. Maybe a special episode of Wheeler Dealer where James tells crackin' boy to piss off and him and Ed just work on cars.

I don't hate The Hamster, it's just that he doesn't need to do anything other than TG. I've seen some of his non-TG stuff and he just doesn't have what it takes to go solo.

No, I want insane, stupid reviews of normal cars, instead of sensible reviews of crazy expensive super/hypercars.

Actually, I'd like to see them tell everybody the cost of maintaining those hypercars. Granted, if you can afford that new Pagani, you're not going to worry about how much it costs to keep it running. It would be interesting to know.
