Topgear reviews new MX5

Post by MX5PWR » Sat Apr 29, 2006 10:05 am

Have seen the trailer for tomorrow nights Topgear and it would seem that they
are reviewing the new MX5, should be worth a watch.

Prime 7.30pm Sunday

a link to a clip from the show was on this list a few months ago, I don't have the link or the email (have just deleted 3466 club emails from a folder) but if someone still has it perhaps they could post it here for the benefit of those who don't get Prime?

Re: Topgear reviews new MX5Also, the latest NZ Classic Car has the MX5 Group
Test that several members provided their cars for. The test is a look at the
NA and NB in various guises and the NC . Also a slightly amusing cartoon in
the back taking a poke at the "hairdressers car" tag that the MX5 has.

Fifth Gear (about 3 weeks ago) had a comparison review of the NA and NC
around the test track with the sexy VBH.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Thanks for mentioning that. I assume you saw this on Sky. This reminded me
to download the programs from www.finalgear.com (I don't have Sky) and have
a look. Interesting that VBH thought she preferred the NA for its better
feel. I haven't driven an NC, but I do think in many ways the NA has
something missing in the NB, probably because of the NB's more refined nature.
I see the new series of Top Gear is due to start in the UK in about a week
as well.

But theres still some 25 other ones up there still, including the STi vs
Evo8 that my friend used to help him decide to buy the Evo... And
theres the Evo vs Lambo one!! That was brilliant, its still up there?

I'd be keen on getting my hands on a copy of it though to show the family :)

I have the whole program here in divx format. I can post you a copy on cd or
dvd if you want. Might have to use the computer to play it though, depending
on what hardware you have.
