This was a stripped base model and it was before luxury, safety, and pollution additions added weight and sapped power. It did have a radio and heater at a time when those were options, but that was it. And cars were not generally heavier then: the '67 Camaro with a V8 weighed 3070 pounds and the 2012 Camaro SS weighs 3849. It seems that people like air conditioning, carpeting, and not dying in a crash.
I’d like Sabine Schmitz to be gradually brought in as a fourth presenter.
She’d add a new dimension, and allow them to freshen the format up a bit. It’s become a little stale recently. Plus she can get a Ford Transit van round the Nürburgring in just a little over ten minutes, so…
James May has another excellent show worth checking out if you haven’t seen it: Toy Stories. There’s a new one on right now in the UK.
Excellent! We loved the Lego house and racetrack epoisodes. Should screen here any time from next week to July 2018.
