They miss the clips of the engine revving up in neutral, the clip of the car peeling away...things they capture in UK TG. With the Astons, I felt like I was watching dust trails more often than the cars. I actually fast forwarded most of this past episode. Segments are boring me...something is missing.
I do agree... not sure if it is the video or the fact that they don't capture the car well in the way that they describe it... jeremy has a way of capturing the key points about a car in 5-6 statements, and what he says is connected to the video... when he talks about the transmission not working in the ISF, you can see it trying to shift and hear it beeping (by the way, this was wrong! they forgot to put it in manual shift mode )

Re hosts... the FLD host would have been good IMO

Hey, what do you guys think about a 'tuner' segment in the show? there's such a big aftermarket crowd in the U.S. - I'm thinking they should pick a car a week to showcase, maybe starting with our resident 1,000 hp build! lol
