How did he rate it ?
I think he rated the MCoupe as drivers car of the year didn't he.
PS what channel is that on ?
I'll keep an eye out for that programme.

I watched this programme on Sky, think it was M&M in the afternoon.(ashamed brow) Tiff was also doing some stunts in a mini, he seemed terrified the stunt driver was going to smash HIS Z3. So If he ownes one they can't be that bad heh???

HAVE THAT!

Antonius I'll go through the Sky plus menu for M&M to record it if it's on. That way I won't have to suffer even a glimpse of the other programmes they make which so bad they aren't even Laughably corny !

I believe that Tiff did own an M Roadster for a while when he worked on Top Gear, it was about the time JC owned a TVR. They swapped them for a test and even JC admitted he like the M at the time. The report is in the brooklands Z3 road test book.

Robin, Now I don't want to discover you perusing M&M for anything other than Fifth Gear Tiff stuff! Watch out for those Jo Guest things demonstrating the flexability of gravity against nature....

Hi folks...

TonyCal - do you have the Brooklands Z3 book? If so, coukld you tell me if there is a 3 litre Z3 tested in it and what the number plate is?

I have a 3litre and it was a BMW press car - I keep looking for any reviews to see if I can spot it!!

David when the brooklands book was published the 3.0 was not even thought of

They are all tests and reviews from 96 to 98.

I wouldn't have thought Clarkson could have even fitted in an M//.
