Yeah would have been interesting to see what he would have thought of an S2000, they should have just included various TVR models, apart from the Porsche the other cars were uninteresting to him.

The BMW dealer must be the first one they failed to negotiate any price decrease with. As the little guy said "Thats business, if you want a friend, buy a dog"

He was not an S2000 person !

Anyone who would buy the purple TVR (with colour coded carpets and dials !!!) he had would not settle for a 'subtle' car like the S2000. His favourite car of all time is a Cobra

He's used to the burble of the engine and getting looks. That's why the BMW / Audi / Merc line up was of no interest (I have to say I agreed with him). Why they presented him with such mainstream (and dull) cars is beyond me.

The Ferrari was crap, the 996 should have been a soft top and I won't comment on the chest-wig Jag.

Why didn't they do the obvious at the beginning of the show and get him in a Tuscan S so we could all have had a look ?

They were not too successful on the old negotiations either !

Ah well, at least it was a break from the war

I cannot believe no one spotted the classic conversation between customer and the bald second hand salesman when they were driving the BMW.

Ok it did make me choke on my dinner as i giggled, it went something like this.

Customer: I like the bmw but the drivers have a bad rep

Jaison: what do you mean?

Customer: Everyone dislikes bmw drivers as they are arrogant and hog the road ( spot on )

Bald Bloke: BMW's are great car's driven by TW@T's

Choke on food time and

I can't see that they will ever have a S2000 on this show. The little bald fella has a Porsche Boxster, so everytime someone wants to look at sub
