Default Fifth Gear tonight,

But much better than that - the Gumpert Apollo

Carol will be watching for sure!

Sounds like something Bada gets up to but can't tell us about.
Or Rupert Bear on speed.

Is it just me or does the Grumpert look like a Noble M12 on steroids?

Looks like an MG SV GT more acronym thingy; a bit 'transformer toy.'

Now this is a proper fuel test, im actually impressed.

They tested all the shit ones from Halfords though, rather than the real ones which work... But even they dont tend to give more power, its more of a safery margin for JDM cars.

That's right. By all accounts the FWD is more fun to drive than the Quattros.

The 500 looks shit in black, but it was good to see someone else getting excited about it.

And yes I texted in to win one!
