          No way - I was almost slashing my wrists at the utter tweeness and waste of time that was the advertising skit on the Scirocco - complete kak... and the attempt at a poetic ending by Clarkson in the lovely Aston left a bid of a bad taste in the mouth.

          The Holdens were ace though - quite ironic and correct that the whole point of Hamsters piece was that all this big German exec sports cars have blurred into the same dull bland crap that go really fast, have loads of flashy knobs, are super safe but makes driving a bit like shagging your favourite girl with two jonnies on... I mean what is the frickin point.....

          Lets have some FUN in a car - it doesn't need Bluetooth enabled cigarette lighters, 20" alloys, 8 pot calipers or a gazillion horsepowers... It needs to look cool, sound great, be 'quick enough', be 'safe enough', be an absolute joy to drive round corners - but most of all - make it attainable for the honest hard-working folk here... Not priced so stupidly high that only stock brokers, GPs, lawyers and the well heeled 'empty suits' of the world can afford it. The rest of us have a wife, 2.5 kids and a killer mortgage to look after so give us a chance **** sake.

          Then within the week there are alleged mockups of this RS5 Sport Anniversaachi thing on the internet - to make us cynical old *******s think that Audi have finally tried to recreate some magic for us. I for one am not convinced... Make it smaller, lighter, more nimble, more fun and less than £40k - I still couldn't afford a new one but at least there'd be hope for some of us !

            Agree with you about the advert bits, complete waste of time imo.

            Did like the way they did the shot from the outside the car panning round to show him its just a shame they over-used it.
