Buy old ______ car and then compete or race etc. These are fun but also within reach of the average viewer. I mean that Alfa looks lovely but not many people can afford the £60k price tag so we will never get to experience it, but a 1998 E class Mercedes or 2001 Volvo V70, sure we can actually appreciate what they are talking about.

Any of us that have ever had a banger on its last legs can appreciate how nerve racking it is when all the warning lights are on and smoke is pouring out of the engine.
Agree 100%. I always look back fondly on the cars that had their own 'quirks', ie were a bit gooseberry fool.
I actually like the celeb bit now - the switch to a decent RWD car is a vast improvement. My only comment would be that they could have taken the instructional bit further, and made it something that you could learn from. Not just Harris shouting at celebs, but talking about weight shifts, brake points, gear changes, racing lines, etc.
