But during the drive Tiff actually says he's having more fun and the ST handles a little better. Then the he gives it the Golf but only just.

I'll take the Focus over the toft Golf any day. It looks better, sound better, get more metal for your bucks.

you can't really compare lap times when your going sideways the whole time

I'd take the Golf if it wasn't so common.

I prefer Top Gear myself. Those guys take themselves too seriously. At least Clarkson & co know they act like knobs.

VBH was also on Top Gear ... Ohhh.... If only... she wasnt so far away, and I wasnt married... hahahahaha

But yes, the ST had 3 people in it, and spent way too much time sideways... although we dontknow if they went sideways on their quick lap... That wouldnt make good TV...

one can assume it was just funky editing more than anything else with regards to the lap times...
