Next Monday night on Top Gear James May, [captain slow], drives / races the Alfa Romeo 159, thats the 9th July at 6 PM, Colin.

Is it a new series Colin?

[colcol]

Hey Aggie, i don't think so, its most likely a bit of this and a bit of that, they will show you at the start a new car from 2012, then Clarkson will look thinner and be testing a 'new' 2008 Ford Focus, but i have not seen them test a 159, so it might be worth a look, they do like Alfa Romeo's on Top Gear, even though they bag em, and the way we talk about  Toyota Camry's here in Australia, they talk about Honda's in the same way over there, Colin.

There won't be any new ones till next year.  The 159 story can be found on youtube also, I think it's from 2008.

Colin, I think it's 6:30pm on GO!. I can't see anything for 6pm...

[colcol]

According to my E.P.G., its 18-00, but 18-30 would be closer to the mark as its usually runs way behind time, a few weeks ago, it was an unbeleivable 45 minutes late, if its from 2008, they will most likely be talking about the upcoming Global Financial Crisis, and how it will affect the car industry..... Colin.

I remember the episode now - racing a bloke who is in mud to his knees across a river.....
