Who saw Top gear this week? Its a program I was not in the habit of watching but since the Peel prog I have been curious to see what else turns up. Last night I was not disappionted. In the quest to find the first car with conventional pedal/gearlever lay out they drove several vintage cars from the National Motor museum . Some of the cars I think may have qualified as microcars, the Benz was a three wheeler and the second one tested was as Clarkson said more akin to a quadbike. Honestly though, if you were the curator of the museum, would you have let those clowns anywhere near the cars? I know the Benz was a replica but the others im pretty sure were the real thing and the de dion that they nearly crashed was worth a shed load of money! What gets me is that the guys just cant help themselves, when James may was driving the Benz he switches into roadtest mode and says "it doesnt handle very well and the performance isnt very good". Its the first car for goodness sake, what do you expect!!!!!! The only thing you could do a road test comparison with at its launch would have been a pony and trap or a boneshaker velocepead! Still, it was a whole lot more interesting than the usual, seeing them remove tread from tyres.
