Given up watching it. Mostly rubbish now.

We were entertained before but now it's just big kids playing with toys that we're not allowed to share.

They are trying to copy the format that Clarkson, May and the Hamster did.

And love them or hate them they certainly put on a better show than the people who have tried to follow in their footsteps

Would like to see people (ordinary people) working on cars personally, I do prefer Wheeler Dealers as a car show.

Mike Brewer and Edd China have gone their separate ways, haven't seen any of the spin offs yet. Think WD was drifting to a U.S. format and Edd wasn't keen.

I too gave up after Clarkson and co left as many said it's just an entertainment show now and not much at all of anything about every day stuff people can afford. Having said that, I haven't laughed to much after watching this one, Mcguiness and Flintoff I my opinion were the funniest.

Would I watch it again.... probably

Best episode since Clarkson and Co left, and may gain traction, but still some way to go.

Just watched it on Iplayer..........I enjoyed it
I think if Peter Kay replaced Flintoff we’d have a new Max & Paddy show

Loving that tough little Mini
