EVO's articles are the best, but I NEVER skip Fast Fleet. Fun to read, and you learn a lot about the cars too. All this stuff just doesn't come up at road tests.

The SL55 and the roof/window problems were very disturbing. Mercedes quality? Yeah right, even Alfa Romeo's quality standards seem to be higher these days. Not to mention the service at the dealer. That really puts you off...

HEHE, yes, the Ferrari was one of the longest longer term test evo ever had, as long as some of their first cars like Yu's previous one, the R33 Godzilla :D

R33? ah maybe aI remember...but the engine blown up while he was following a 600bhp F40 right?
Ad now they have the AM DB7 GT, it's the same Top Gear tested I think...

TG mag used their "TFU", yes :) not sure if it was also the same used for the tv show, I can't check right now... but sadly their moments with it are coming to an end ...

Just wondering, TT, is it possible to post some scans with Westfield Megabusa or Westfield XTR2? I saw the Top Gear test drive with that XTR2 and I really liked that car. And here the Top Gear and EVO magazines don't come... :cry:

I doubt they tested the Megabusa.. I don't recall it.. but the XTR2 was tested more than once.. maybe always in group tests.. of course if it will be featured again in the future, it will be scanned

Ok, TT. Thank you for such a fast reply. BTW, on the www.topgear.com, I saw they've tested a Caterham Seven Tracksport. Is there a video with this car?
