Tbh i was expecting it to be a little better, it was the usual TG Christmas fair, lots of gags and arsing about in cars, but i don't think it was as entertaining as some of the past ones especially the one were they found a baby stig that one was just brilliant

There brilliant. Every episode is still perfect tv imo.

Who cares if they are the same. After 10 years what else can they do with cars and locations and working jokes.

Whether it was "staged" or "intentional" or not with the whole numberplate thing, unfortunately it overshadowed what was an otherwise enjoyable episode IMO.

I was thoroughly impressed with that Lotus - not only does it still look fantastic, it coped with some terrain that I'd never have imagined it could (there was some stuff it went over that I would have thought twice about taking my Legnum over!)

It was also the most reliable of all of them, and for once, they didn't ruin it with their "tinkering" - leaving it alone and simply fitting a towbar was the best thing possible to do with it.

Yep brill Lotus, you can expect the values of Esprits to suddenly climb now.
