Motoring magazine. Jason Plato gets an exclusive drive in the new Ford Focus ST, Tiff Needell plots a course for a London Grand Prix, and Jon Bentley investigates roadblocks.


Running out of steam by the sounds of it :bah: And how exactly is that ST test exclusive when Top Gear test it the day before :prr:

Yeah huh, I guess that Lotus 200mph project cost quite a bit :) .

Do British TV shows always run out of money? I heard this about 5th Gear before. How could they not plan better?

episode 8 will be the last of the series???

Yeah does anybody know when this Series will end? Just wondering for harddisk space sake.

But remember, Plato was saying in the auction in Programme 7 that they will show they trying to resell the car for higher 2 shows later. So I guess there might be a Programme 9?

and Jon Bentley investigates roadblocks.


how interesting.... :?

they should of left the episodes 30 min long and take out the stuff that few ppl care about and just spread the interesting stuff over the 10 or so episodes.

^ Exactly. I always liked the 30 min format because it was short and to the point. I don't feel like the current car features have any more substance than when it was a 30 min show. Now is just "extras" which I don't really care for.

Also their editors need to pay attention, i pointed this out in the download topic, but Tiff incorrectly stated the XJR's time at 54.98, go ahead watch it, right before he jumps in the cls and he also converted 427 cubic inches into 5,7 litres, what?

yeah that got me thinking too... 427CI is 7.0L not 5.7 btw that is an LS1 hehe.
