Reminder
Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
is the scirocco on next week?
short lists for some categories are a bit random, gone for the tactical vote of going for the old ball in other categories to give the scirocco a chance, the seat altea freetrack deserves a chance

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
it looks like they had the wrong description for the show that was on, next weeks has this weeks description on also. i think it will be on next week
Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
Looks like the sports car reviews will be on this sunday as the freeview programme description is of last weeks luxury car reviews so they must have got the week descriptions mixed up. Hopefully the scirocco will be on!!
Got It! - You will not be disappointed...!

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
Yep definitely on tonight.
4x4's are on first so it'll probably be in the second half of the show.
Repeated wednesday if anyone missed it.

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
'Rocco looked superb against the other short listers.... the track review was very favourable given the price (was never gonna come top against the more powerful & expensive TTS, Evo or 911) however it came top on the wheel change test... whoo hoo (I think !) what a daft test...
Wonder when/if Top Gear plan to feature it

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
Had to turn it off, have never watched the program before and doubt I ever will again, the guy that tested the cars round that wet sand ciruit???? Didnt have a clue what he was talking about!
It wasnt funny, it certainly wasnt factual and it made 0 sense

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
just watched the review on dave and what a pile of sh*t. They spent more time on the 4 x 4 school run wannabe wag mobiles then they give the sports car to some injury prone past it sportsman who drives it round a muddy track then they give it to some anoraks to see who can change a wheel the fastest what the f**k has that got to do with a car of the year review. The worst I have ever seen then I didn't expect much when the programme is presented by that clown johnny Vaughan all we needed would have been his side kick denise van outen. Well at least she is better to look at
Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
Fair position given the competition.
Would have clearly been a much better programme if the rocco had been voted higher

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
I didn't quite get the point of the 'tests'. Four wheel drive car beats fwd round a wet muddy track shocker. Hardly a surprise.
Would have been much better to do a proper 5 minute road test on each car. The tyre changing thing was pointless too.
I really hope it's on this season of Top Gear though.

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
Not really I couldnt care a less if it had come last, but it would have been better to test the cars properly, the comments about the Evo were comical, and the monley thinks a standard 911 carrera is a performance match to and EVO X 360!!!? It would destroy the porsche hands down any day of the week any climate. especially on a wet sandy track lol which of course we all bought our cars to drive onmister.c. wrote:Fair position given the competition.

Re: Rocco in Dave channel COTY 2008
Well, the EvoX won the ports car category. 3 of the 4 guys in the studio bigged up the rocco though.
