Good spot Steve.

I had no idea. Shows how little TV or motoring media I am consuming these days

Kids will be delighted. And perfect way to round off Mothers Day

Thought this week's episode was excellent
i3s, Volvo and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

I thought it was superb and original - which takes some doing!

That Lambo though at £2.5m + taxes - WTF????

The dads car section was absolutely fantastic and quite poignant.

When Harris was talking about remembering the clocks and typeface on the 323 it really resonated with me.
My dad had a mk1 Golf GTI that he must have sold when I was 4 or 5. I don’t remember anything about the car really but I vividly remember the clocks and the steering wheel with the four horn buttons.
He also had a mk2 Astra GTE 16V with the digital dash which was the coolest thing ever to a 9 year old.

Really cool to see on social media that Harris has bought that BMW too.
VX220 2.2 - Gone
BMW 335d Touring F31- Fastest car on the road
MINI Cooper 1.5- More fun than the BMW

The Lambo’s cool looking but irrelevant and unattainable. However will sell just fine to Sheiks etc etc.

Box-ticking by the manufacturer I think. “Yes we have EV tech in our range”

Where about was the small runway in last nights episode? I was expecting it was going to end badly when they were each getting pulled along.
