sad I know....but watching TG on UKTV G2....getting a pre-fix before tonight, there is hamster testing the MR2, Barchetta and the MX5.....cuts back to the studio and JC says he'd sooner have the MGTF.....woohoo...now how did I miss that episode.....or was it subliminally transmitted into my mind when I bought mine last July:lol:
In past editions of TG i have heard and seen clarckson raining praise on the MGF. Only once or twice though, only ever heard him take the mickey out of rover as a company, which is fine by me.
Can think of three TG F reviews, all of them positive.
1 ) JC reviews the car when it was launched, was very complimentary. He starts off by wandering around the car wondering where the engine is.
2 ) JC reviews all the current crop of Roadsters up and and including the Boxster. F comes top!
3 ) VBH reviews the SP Cheetah (nightfire red one) and rates it highly. This is kind of puzzling though as a few years later in the Daily Telegraph, VBH also put the F as one of the worst 100 cars of the 20th century (based on her mum buying an MX5 in preference - bizzarre!) Stopped watching 5th Gear because of this. Can't stand inconsistency, makes her look stupid and ruined her creidibility.
A few presenters are inconsistant and ICcan be one of them but its good to hear he liked our little cars . Not surprised the porka cam out top though but even they have there problems i surpose other than been German that is
