    I'm pretty sure that Jason was test driving the Lexus on the Blue Ridge Parkway which runs through western NC from Cherokee in the Great Smokey Mountains running northeast and paralleling the TN/NC stateline before ending in VA - no other road looks like it

    Looks like that Lexus had 30 day tags on it. It’s possible. The stone guard rails are classic BRP.

    This show without Clarkson is like a Ferrari without a Prancing Horse. It just isn't right.

    I really love how intro reflects present time. Like, for example, this sign with "Electric" deviation and these esthetics of early 00's nostalgia. The music also matches the footage vaaary noice, combining both nature's force and beauty with cars' sterile perfection. Long focus lens is the best option there, thanks to the cameraman. Btw, who is this guy at 0:15? He is really intriguing!

    I remember sitting it that Lexus SC430 in the Mayfair dealership when I was 13. Slick haired, passive aggressive posh wanker salesman opened the door and just silently stared at me with an old couple. Ah memories!

    It's still on the same Xantia in 2020. The registrations C4 UTY and 25 DEC are still on the same cars on this video as of 2020, too! The registration H14 UTY is now on 2016 Volkswagen Polo GTi!

    Pretty sure the music at the start of the MGB/Mustang review comes from James Bond You Only Live Twice.

    Poor guitar player had play against that monotonous noise. Hope he got paid plenty. Also that '67 Mustang needs new leaf springs.

    This is actually rather interesting history considering that there are embryonic elements of fifth gear and newer top gear here. But its easy to see why its cancelled, minus Vicki's review the rest of the show is drab and boring.

    The 25 was such a god awful shit mobile its incredible that they sold this at the same time as the 2001- Corolla. Hideous everything.

    By 2001 the Rover 2000/25 was clearly long in the tooth and was using an ageing Honda Civic platform. A friend of mine in 2003 was looking to get a new car and test drove a MG ZR. He ended up with a Honda Civic mainly down to the fact it cost the same as the ZR but was superior in every way. It came as no surprise why Rover finally went under in 2005.
