How the hell did she get that job?? :shocked:
-
Pretty Baby,sexy lady-HOT!.The cars are ok too. :kiss:
She might at least have pointed out the Campaign model she was driving was a 1.8 (with 115bhp) if i remember correctly.I could change gear in a Land Rover Defender quicker than that. :grin:

112 bhp in the 1.8 the 2.0 had 115 bhp (mk3) that 3bhp makes all the difference in a lightweight car like a mk1!!!
A drag race is one thing but on a twisty B road the two cars would be poles apart.
The turbo torque of the mk7 would blast it out of bends that it would hardly have to slow down for due to all the electronic gizmos, yet the mk1 would take up less space in the road and feel far more responsive and agile.
Give me the power steering of the mk7 any day, I had arms like Conan when I had my mk1s and early mk2s.
-
Also it's going to take the mk1 twice as long to stop lol! Can't beat em though in my mind.
-
Yeah she's not much of a driver. You can hear she's changing gear far too early and taking an entirety to do it.
One of the other videos she's on (yeah I'm that sad I watched another) XR2 v ST the comments on the video are all saying she started 2.5seconds after she was meant to :grin:
Not the brightest :rolleyes:

Yes no wonder the standard 8V MK3 got such a reputation as a lard arse.

If they put the MK1 on sale tomorrow i'd buy one.I've driven loads of cars over the years.But my MK1 1800 Y reg in lhasa green is still the one i remember the most.Taking it for a test drive from Hawco in Elgin,i just couldn't stop grinning.Sold! :smiley:

I'm even sadder.I watched them all,the Astra,MX5 as well.Not for the cars though eh?. :whistle:
-
Getting stick for some dodgy shifting that's for sure.
-
Should've given her a DSG. Surely she couldn't have made a meal of that :whistle:

To be fair to her, and as I've woken up in a good mood for a change, the filming was probably done in about a dozen takes to get the right angles and the narration in the right places etc.
I remember reading a column by Clarkson many years ago where they were doing a comparison of a supercar (a Lambo of some type) versus a hot hatch to demonstrate the difference in performance. Obviously as the ubiquitous hot hatch of the era a mk2 Golf GTI was used.
In the Top Gear TV program it showed them drag racing and the Lambo blasting away into the distance and then the shot cuts to Clarkson leaning on the Lambo waiting for the GTI to arrive making it look like he'd been waiting an age.
In his magazine article Clarkson said the reality of it was that it took about half a morning just to do that shot and get it all in sequence as nine times out of ten the GTI beat the Lambo off the line by a margin thanks to the wheelspin suffered by the RWD supercar.
I wouldn't mind betting the vid there was shot many times from many different angles and the narrative bits just added in as additional bits of film making it look like they were doing the race for real.

You protest too much and I'm not buying that :grin: She can't drive full stop. She's obviously in there for other reasons :laugh:
