Top Gear

Great to have you back! I can't help it, I love this programme. Smiling ear to ear for an hour - it's so entertaining. It turns out the best supercar for the current petrol prices is an Audi R8 - 5mpg. Don't buy the Ferrari - 1.7MPG isn't very good, is it?

And they proposed replacement cars for the police, instead of the ones they have at the moment. Budget of 1000 pounds, plus 500 for livery (painting and lights and whatnot) - some of this included wheel-mounted bars, like you see on Roman chariots....yeah, I can see that working. Though one of them used a rearward firing paint dispenser to confound the villain's vision - maybe use vinyl instead of emulsion though.....

All in all, an informative and intelligent automotive magazine programme. I commend it to the house. 2000 on a Sunday evening on the BBC2, or whenever you want if you've Skyplussed it.
