Cameron didn't sit through this one as well as last weeks - maybe that says something about target audience of the two episodes?!?!

However - he loved the quad-ski and was mesmerised by the P1 when it came on - as were we - that's not a car - it's a flipping space ship!

Alfa 4C - said it at Top Gear Live when they rolled out all the supercars - that would be mine! I'd prefer a convertible - but not sure if there are plans for that? If there are then we start saving now

After all the gripes & moans about last week's episode, I watched "Call The Midwife" instead....

Is Miranda Hart your guilty pleasure?

You away just now Ross? Due on your place Wednesday

Only a three dayer for me, so no need to warn the galley staff

Phenomenal noise-just screams aggression
The silver one on TG-nose cone and door panel has angles reminiscent of the 340r?

Nice find Rossy. Shame about the slightly cheesy voiceover.

Still sooo glad I got to spend a long weekend there. 2003. Nearly 11 years ago. Feels like yesterday. Gulp.

I liked Clarkson 'punches a hole in time'. A bit pricey though

Amazing car, incredible technology. Really hoping that there is one at Goodwood this year would love to see one up close. Wonder how long until the active areo and electric motors filters down to lesser models over the years. Clarkson's TG write up in the mag is worth a read if you haven't already. He asked them to take it out of race mode because it was to quick.

Love the way that Button is not wearing a crash hat but the passenger is.

Much better episode, entertaining from the off, and that Alfa is incredible. The headlights look much better when you don't concentrate on them as just 1 detail, and better when the car is moving too. Plus, it's an Alfa with Lotus proportions, what's not to like!

The P1 is awesome too. To my eye, it's not too pretty, but I don't think it's trying to be. The small details are amazing, and the road presence is possibly next to none. We passed one on the M6 last year and can still remember how surreal it looked!

better episode absolutely, but was a bit gutted that there was no chat about how it went round Spa. Just seemed to focus on the straight and a twitchy Eau Rouge moment.

Thought they got over the Alfas positives well though. Whos buying one?
