    I also always had a soft spot for the Alfa 75 for some reason.

    Poor old James, every time thet are in convey Hammond always makes sure to hit him

    I read on their site that there is a big race coming up....they dont give much away except that it will take place in Japan.

    I believe it is and i can't wait :D

    On topic though, tonights show was very good as usual, the challenge was yet another descent into mayhem and good fun all round. And the stars in a reasonably priced car? i love Gavin & Stacey so was nice to see them guys on it too :)

    Best one of the series so far.
    Hammond crashing into may will never get old!!!

    The sirocco looked Hot with the same price tag as the GTI.

    will this be the case in Ire as well?

    Did it really make anyone else want to invest in a worse-for-wear Alfa just because?
    God I love those crappy crappy cars.

    How the hell did he get an alpha GTV for less than a thousand quid? It looked brilliant and it didn't seem to have too much wrong with it... well, relatively speaking

    Looking on auto trader and other sites, the cheapest you can get one is 5 grand

    There was quite a bit of rust on it that didn't show up on camera + they are creative about how they buy them. JC bought the 75 for £450 but also gave the seller £650 for inconvenience.

    Good episode. May was getting really thick when Hammond kept ramming his Alfa!

    Next week is the Japan episode, I can't wait...

    I don't know what I did with my computer, but this episode somehow appeared on my hard disk this morning, and I have to say, its brilliant! :D They made up for the sloppy first episode, and a bit more! The team behind the camera / editing for that Bentley has to be the same team that did the Audi RS6. Just awesome!!!

    Best comment was Hammond giving out to Clarkson about the blowout, Clarkson rebuke.

    "At least I took it like a man and didn't end up on Fern and Philips couch crying about it" - Brilliant :D

    Seemed like the clutch was knackered - did you not see him trying to pull off?

    yeah but you could get a new clutch for a few hundred quid, grand tops, well worth it for a beautiful machine like that...

    (how much is 24 hour breakdown assistance? :p )
