Watch Top Gear on 21st December

[ZweiHundertFunf]

Hi All,

Just thought I'd let you know that on Wednesday this week Top Gear filmed an old vs. new drag race thing for the show on the 21st.

Full list of cars involved was :

Mk 1 golf GTi vs. mk4 GTi Turbo
3000zx vs. 350z
205 1.9 GTi vs. 206 GTi 180
Escort Cosworth vs. Focus RS
mk1 MR2 vs new RX8 (Not sure about this one)

Thought you'd be interested  

Right I'm off before I get accused of being rude/arrogant/long-winded etc.    

Merry Christmas !

One last point, they didn't time them round the track, it was a straight drag race so the older versions didn't really have a fair chance  

Guess the manufacturers don't want their new models being shown up by the old-timers eh ?!
