First off, who went to see TopGear? My lovely woman got me tickets for the birthday, and I had a ball (3rd row from front at super dome :D )

But really, this incident leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing:

Honestly, I do understand why it wasn't worth the risk to use 3 360s to do precision driving, but to me there is absolutely no point in pretending... that's just a w@nk.

The Alfas were just as exciting, cos we're more interested in seeing expert precision driving anyway.

Shame, TG, shame.

This is why some things are better left unsaid / What you don't know can't hurt you - Yea it sucks they used fake ones but a lot of people would've been happier not knowing ;)

Kit cars... they're great, like fake Rolex. :lol:

I wanted to go, but don't like large crowds of people confined like that. :cry:
