Just finished watching it there. The bit I found most interesting/surprising was when they showed them testing the F type and land rovers for component durability and she commented that they test them for the life cycle of the vehicle which was only 10 years. :shock: definitely not built to last these days.

Interesting insight all the same, IMHO. Esp for the kids. They like May from TG but I agree he wax outshone. Ant was very impressive as a live presenter.

Future TG host?!

Ant is too much of a car nut and not enough of a clown for TG. Don't get me wrong though, I quite enjoy the TG clowns.... to date.

I enjoyed the technical insights in the two shows. The presentation was pretty poor, but I also thought that the order of the segments was somewhat muddled. I thought the point of the show was to show the process of production, but their order of things was jumping up and down through the process.

There are some interesting stats and details and some fascinating tech but it's buried in 3 hours of filling, unless you're Oscar Pitorius or snowed in, I wouldn't bother :roll:
