    Great driving Kevin. Here is a man who has owned many a fast car and he says "I never thought you could get so much pleasure out of a little 1. -- whatever it is." We can all learn something from that remark, because most people who desire these extremely fast cars can't even use or enjoy the performance of their "little 1- whatever it is". Kevin certainly can and he now knows that you don't need a very fast expensive car to get a buzz out of driving. I rode motor bikes before I got to drive a car and I soon learnt that small motor bikes can be great fun. You can't throw a Harley around like you can a small agile 250cc. This was one of the most informative "Top Gear shows" I have ever watched. Thank you Kevin.

    Kevin McCloud is a top bloke. Not only is he a damn good presenter, but he's super modest with it. I love it when cocky celebs come onto TG expecting to put in a decent lap and fail, but I like it even more when one comes on, genuinely aiming for a decent mid table time, only to find themselves at the top of the board. Well done Kevin... \o/

Bit disappointing to hear it was only a Cerbera....Then again, our only experience with TVR's in this country is pretty much limited to GT3 & GT4 on Playstation 2, so no wonder I can't tell the difference!
