Satellite High has great videos. I particularly love that one.

A journalist in Blighty bought a 630 (~$1000 USD) Lotus Eclat off eBay. It's an awful looking little thing, everything is broken, the electrics disintegrate and apparently major structural members inside the car that are inaccessible invisibly and quickly rust.

I guess there aren't many left on the road, so... more power to him to get it sort of fixed?

I think I agree. My favorite Top Gear segments are the cheap car challenges which is basically what Roadkill is but Freiburger and Finnegan are so much better at it in every way.

I just wish we could have an episode a week. Even if it was 3 weeks of small episodes, looking at cars, or even looking buy a car, then the 4th week was an episode like todays. That would be great.

The engine in the General Lee depends on which episode and scene you were watching :v:

Most of them had 360's or 318's, the hero car was a 440 and I think it had a Hemi in one episode.

Yeah. That really needs to be attached to a motorcycle engine, or something that revs over 6k.
