Top Gear - Eastern Bloc cars road test (1986)

[Pete-M]

Come on guys, why haven't I seen a word in praise of Scrapheap Challenge? Proper Job! Yeah ok, the cars involved do die for their moment of glory, but at least it's fun along the way. I can do without the endless recapping though. My attention span is long enough to remember what they did at the beginning, and what the challenge is. The recaps are only useful if I come in after the start and need to catch up (but I can usually figure out what's going on sooner or later anyway).

 

Sorry, I just realised, I'm contributing to thread drift here...

 

Scrapheap Challenge is ace. When it gets boring during the recaps, I find googling for images of Lisa Rogers with her norks out passes the time rather splendidly.

 

This kinda thing.

That is pretty dull. The proper TG didn't have items going on for ten minutes at a time.
