Well I can't even tell you what I said - but if I said wow this is a blatent ripoff of TG, then, it is. But the concept is good, so if I WAS complaining, I can't defend myself. It was 6 months ago. . . .
If you bothered to read Autocar magazine you would realise 'monkey' is his nickname, not sure why but its not for the reasons some lower intelligence numptys would think.
this is one, if not my favorite autocar videos. it is exactly the kind of fun car guys love to have. buying some cheap rust buckets and racing them till only one is left running.
and you can really tell these guys are having great time, thats what makes this great.
no mate, autocar are a magazine but they make these videos while they do their tests etc and put them on their website. Would be great on the tv though, bunch of legends
I reckon a fit 205 GTI 1.9 or mk2 Golf GTI 16v would give a lot of new stuff a run for its money. Trouble is you'd need more than a grand for proper decent examples of either.
can you do another one of these? :D

AHAHAHA @ that lift off oversteer. I spat coke everywhere when I saw that. Looked so pathetic seeing the Pug's ass hanging out.
This is much more hilarious then Evo's and Top Gears cheap car challenge. Goodwins driving is hilarious.

£250? Top Gear did it for £100,and even that was high!
Joe90ridesahonda 4 years ago
Top Gear did not have a race not a 205 GTi.
And what TG gets for £100 seems a bit.. Unrealistic.

It's called having fun racing cars, which is universal, which To Gear has captured well, basically, and, run-on sentences are fantastic!

Good vid.
Any XE (redtop) powered Vauxhall for £250 is going to be any good when you consider the engine alone, if healthy, is worth twice that.
The vid also shows how tough Pugs are under all that 10p French plastic trim.

yea true
maybe there should be a more reasitic real world budget and they should time the laps and maybe even give £500 for mods
in that case i would get a charade GTTI or a Vti
