The only interesting bit was the speed camera report.
The rest just looks like more of the old Top Gear tripe.

If thats the one I encoded to MPEG it wasn't a "bloody good review" at all.

He said the S2000 had no torque low down and therefore was no good as an everyday car.

Did anyone stay on Channel 5 for 'Vlad The Impaler' right afterwards? Now there's a bloke who knew how to get your attention!

Large 7.7mb, did not realise it was that large until I just looked.

Yes, it is the one where he gets it sideways going up the mountain. In fairness some of his comments were negative, low end torque - never realised that but all his other comments were very good.
We all know the torque is crap, it is Vtec that we love the car for not torque, at the end of the day he comes away liking the car which is all we can ask from a man who drives Lambo's, Ferrari's and Porsche's all day long

Anthony, I remember thinking at the time that they had chosen the wrong man for the job - Tiff's love of hi-torque TVRs etc is well-known. Vicki B-H would have been a much better choice for the review. Inspite of this he did seem to admire the car except for the torque.
It just seemed a shame that Joe Public with no knowledge of VTEC would take Tiff's comments to heart and think the car is pants !
