Default Wrong Car, Right Car - February 10th

Quote from Radio Times

"Series in which Jason Barlow and Dominic Littlewood help people choose the perfect car. They help a Solihull man spend 30 thousand pounds on a car that will make some noise and go round corners like a train."

Could this be the one featuring the S?

Hmm a few TV guides (Guardian, Daily Mail) gave that write up for last nights episode that I missed , but apparently it was some old dear getting a new car, so you could be right

Saw the trailer last night and i could definately see a Lotus elise, Scooby and a TVR i think.

So there may be an S as they normally have 3 new cars and 3 second hand motors.

Can't be the S cos it goes round corners much better than trains. At least mine does - I have never got a train to handle as well as the S i must admit.

They must be a week behind, because the old woman was advertised for last week.

I watched it (and the old dear was 80 and speeding round like a goodun!!) and they showed a clip about next weeks "faster" rascals! An argument ensued in our household though because I got all giddy saying it was an S2000 and the opposition said it was a Z3 (but they're not fast enough!!!) but it is definately shown next week!!!

On screen guide 8.30 BBC2 next Monday. Wrong Car, Right Car.

"Make some noise baby"

They help Jim Henderson in Solihull swap his Audi S3 for the right car.

Hope this helps
Noony.

Hmmmm. I'm torn. Part of me wants to see the "right" car win, and him pick the S.

On the other hand, do I really want another one in my neck of the woods? There are already 6 in Solihull that I'm aware of...... It's in danger of replacing Fleet as the UK S2000 capital at this rate!

It's probably too late, if he picked it you have probably already seen him. Even stranger he maybe a member of the board.........
