Re: Top Gear Alfa Special
i think there have been enough of these today, peoples opinions are expressed in other threads.
add a pole if you want otherwise people are going to give the same long answers as in other parts of the forum

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special
Voted: bit of both.
Probably wouldn't exactly encourage anyone to go out and buy an Alfa but ended on a high note and was a lot less destructive than other TG challenges I've seen.
The three of them do seem to have some genuine affection for the marque. |

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special
Negatively and it was utter drivel.
First time I've said that about TG, too.

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special
positively. they illustrated the fun, passion & individuality of alfas pretty well i thought. yes the cars started to fall to bits, but any viewers who think that only happens to alfas (and not ancient old bangers in general) are just too stupid to be allowed to own a car

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special
Alfa fans will talk about this episode with other Alfa fans for ever, the rest of the general public will forget about it within days.
I enjoyed it for what it was, prime time entertainment.

Re: Top Gear Alfa Special
Negative.
It perpetuated the myth that Alfa's fall apart and are unreliable which may have been correct 20 years ago but not now.  |
