Nepal special. Is this a re run? Pug 106/ Renault 4  and a locally sourced vehicle.

Mcguinness / flintoff and Harris. 

Whats the AS HIVE mind verdict?

Loved it, one of the best ever. Some of those roads........

I think many things are fakeable but some of the looks seemed very genuine. I like to think I would try anything like that once but a couple of spots on that road have my arse cheeks clenching waiting for them to go over.

Interesting in a “special” to see the effect of 3 broadcaster/ journalists as it was, to 1 amongst the 3 only. Not being in a studio/ audience situation is the defining difference.

I saw a clip somewhere of Chris Harris saying he has shipped the Renault 4 back and is restoring it.

The £600 convertible challenge has me wondering whether they have been taking buying tips from these very boards.

Was surprised they didn’t smash that Metro up - what’s the score with it though, DVLA reckon it’s black....

Great start to the new series, after the dirge of the Chris and Matt years it’s back on form.

So how many of us were looking on ebay for cheap SLK's?

Maybe repainted it as black wouldn't look good on camera? Or just someone else repainted in its history.

It had been re engineered underneath no engine obvs but the wheels were linked with a beam axle front and rear; subframes notable by their absence.

The fella that resprayed it for them is in the Metro groups. As you can see by the grille, it was a cheap and quick respray to make it stand out on the telly.

The car itself was for sale for ages and nobody bought it due to dodgy rust issues etc.

Top Gear doing car bungee jumping is nothing new, they were doing it at the live shows for years in a K11 Micra.

It’s still a little forced at times, but OK.

The review of the Atom was top stuff, Harris is excellent at that. Great camera work too.

^ yes agreed on the atom segment. Also nice shot of Harris heel and toeing for those that like to see a performance car driven well.

In the event that I was doing that (no fucking chance) I'd probably have insisted on a 100% rust free car.

All the structural parts of the car were replaced with ones suitable for the stunt hahaha

You can see on the underside that there are no subframes and where the exhaust was is now a box section.

+1 to that. Those headlights...

I really enjoyed the show, looking forward to the rest of the series.
