    Fifth Gear, why put a convertible Mini up against the new Alfa which isn't a convertible, no wonder it handled better. They always seem to put Mini's up against cars that in my view aren't fair, they did it with the Sirocco. Bloody cant stand Tiff and what about Chewbacca with the goaty beard in the studio, and don't start me on Vicky Butler.

    Tom Chewbacca Ford resting in between takes test driving the new Ford Sierra.


    Top Gear all the way

    I know that... but the situation they had the car in, it would have been better being a manual, oh aye and not a convertible, oh aye and not having about 30bhp less...
