I don't think it works like that anymore..

don't they outsource all the production costs.. and since the show gets 300+million viewers worldwide, it is probably a good money spinner for the beeb.

 

Is it just me or did Simon Pegg remind you of grahamb, especially when he was really trying during his hot lap...?

 

about the Brabus - what was the point in that car. VW have proved that you can deliver 1000bhp to the road, Brabus you failed to deliver 700+.

Number of cars sold for Brabus pre-TG = some I guess.

Number of UK orders now = feck all

 

There is a slight difference in price though...

 

But I'd say people don't buy the Brabus cars for the performance, they buy them for the exclusivity and to make a subtle point that they can afford to buy them and be different.

That is certainly the case for the people I know who have them.

 

I reckon the Brabus would be at home in Germany. It's probably not even considered that anyone outside there would buy one, unless they were just looking for a toy or some exclusivity.

 

i have to say i thought this episode was a bit lacking. But then that was in comparison to the last one which was the best top gear ever!

 

I've not seen it yet but I'll take that as a compliment

 

I'd wait until you've seen it...
