    Can't believe that poor lotus is being ruined, they must of had decent budgets for this one as you can't pick up a tt esprit for less than 15k

    Gay that was dull .... Trying to watch that without dozing off .. F-all happened

    1st challenge .... Drive a bit
    2nd challenge .... Drive more

    I asume they were making a 1 episode programme but the Bbc decided it should be dragged out over 2 episodes, so all the content will be shown tonight and Saturdays programme was just padding

    Well, the last ten minutes were exciting, although it would've been nice to see how James, Jeremy and Hamster got out of dodge.

    I can't be the only person who's already looked at Esprits and 928s on EBay?

    Enjoyed it, although it was a bit tame compared to other specials, I think that's because they got rid of a lot (but not all) of the pointless shit.

    No, but I have been looking at OZ Futuras on eBay throughout that episode I notice they disappeared from the Lotus before the final segment, hopefully they got saved even if the cars didn't.

    I need to own an Esprit one day. Also, those Argentinians at the end are a disgrace, throwing rocks at a film crew because of a number plate, Jesus Christ.

    Pfft seen worse on a saturday night at chucking out time

    Shocking display from some, ok i bet there are a lot of decent argi's but the failure of there police to do owt show how bad the place is.

    Should have made it even better by putting up a few banners on the sides of the cars as they drove through, "Hows your newest default going?"

    I found it very good even though me and my OH couldn't agree if it was completely stupid to take those supercars for that journey or not.
    I found it's a pain too watch (poor cars) but who else would do it? At least we were able to see now what happens if they get used in that kind of terrain. Therefore I liked it...
    The end of part 2 was a bit unexpected (especially the fact that there is a 31-crew haha) but I found it good anyway because it was just "real"

    I enjoyed it even though it was just the usual larks. However, I have a feeling the boys were flown out of there and weren't even part of the convoy, if they had then they would have footage of them driving. I imagine they had doubles doing the driving after they were under siege at that hotel and a chopper whisked them off.

    that could have been and I don't even blame 'em for that.
    Seemed serious enough, wondering if the eggs and rocks were just it or would they have done more damage etc if they stayed aany longer...

    The 3 of them were air lifted out with the women and the blokes drove the rest of the convoy.

    Would have been a different story if the crew cars had stopped in the middle of the riot and a platoon of paras got out the boot. Wonder if they would have ran away again.
