As I was having a lazy Saturday morning browsing the tv channels, what should I come across on DAVE tv but our lovely Crossfire[roadster] on an old edition of Top Gear from 2005.

Sadly I'd missed about the first 25 mins of it so didn't see the start, but caught up with it when they were racing the 3 cars, an XF, Audi TT & Nissan 350z in Iceland...on a very slippery volcanic ash beach.
Sadly Capt Slow got to drive the XF so naturally came last ...- beaten well by the Audi & narrowly by Hamster in the Nissan.They really couldn't agree with which was the best car though as they said there were faults with all of them. Their main gripes with the XF seemed to be poor engine parts [!], lack of grip & power- not a true sports car they said...more of a cruiser. They did all say how good looking & comfortable it was though- Clarkster was particularly impressed with the looks, comfort & price!

Have tried looking to see it this episode is to be repeated but no joy so far. If anyone spots it, it's the episode where Sir Tim Rice is the 'Star in a reasonably Priced Car'!
