To be honest I'd be much happier watching it on TV, I cant imagine it being that great live. OK you might get to stand close to a cool car for a bit but beyond that what else is the attraction. Surely not Jeremy Clarkson and the boys "witty banter".

Are you serious zig?
How will anyone know? It could be anyone with a white helmet on...........

Not a bad show at all, but some of the jokes are so scripted it is unreal. You would think they are reading it from the autocue..

I'm serious full back. The night's being promoted by the same people promoting the show in Dublin.

We missed out the 1st time they went on sale but got them the second time round. Was watching the audience closely the other night and 90% of them seem to be able to see feck all. the other 10% are weeman who seem to get shoved up to the front so it looks like it's a mixed crowd.

Not exactly sure what to expect, we have wrist bands to go behind the scenes (or something like that). The tickets were 120euro each, which is feckin expensive. Love the show but don't know how its worth that (unless i get a lap in the reasonably priced car!)

So, What was the show like? Was it worth it? Should we all be sickened - us ones that couldnt get tickets?
