Remember when car shows were about the cars?

Acceleration tests, turning circles, Db tests, complete with non ironical Rick Astley soundtrack.

This period Dutch show puts the BMW, Jag and the big merc through their paces. The brake tests, slalom and elk tests are where things get interesting (4.30 onwards).. unless like me you found it interesting in its entirety, and didn't consider it necessary to overpay a loud overbearing character to make vague innuendo and lad mag quips to keep up the viewer ratings.

I might have mentioned it once, all the jibber jabber over Top Gear has had an almost zero focus on the cars.

It's become the Hello! magazine of the motoring world.
