Jonny... This episode and the last one have been just new levels of fabulousness. They've been the pinnacle of story telling, production and nostalgia. The car culture represented in these last two has changed beyond recognition, but the passion is absolutely familiar. So some nostalgic dewy eyed-ness at things past, and some hope for the future of motoring. It's genuinely moved me and I'm sure many others. CMTMB

Who doesn't love Tiff, One of your best episodes yet
-
I thought Johnny was taking the piss saying Tiff was in his 70s, he’s bloody 72 years old. What a guy Tiff is, great seeing him back in an RS. Well done Johnny for sorting this.
-
This is what passion is. Both of you were beaming and you can tell it's genuine. It's why i love this channel.
-
I miss the days of Tiff terrifying everyone during the Fifth Gear team tests, it's great to see he's still as bonkers as ever.
-
As a man of a certain age, hearing Tiff narrate a lap or two takes me back to a better time.
-
I feel it's a word that gets used far too much these days, but Tiff is such a legend. Great work as ever, Jonny
-
Tiff in the Sierra Cosworth is what ignited my love of SIerra's when I was 8 years old. I begged my dad to buy one , he did and loved it so much he owed about 10 over years from mk1's mk2's and Saphs so this video means so much to me. Thanks a lot Jonny for making this happen. I feel like going into the garage to sit in my MK1 and think about my late father now
-
Tiff Needell and Chris Harris still remain as the best in the business when it comes to car reviews IMO. Unlike the vast majority, they have legit racing chops, especially Tiff. They talk about the cars from a perspective others can't! Thank you for making this video happen!
-
True story...I met Tiff in Universal Studios in Florida 30 years ago? He was an absolute gentleman. He asked what I drove.....omg.....at that time I ran a BMW e30 M3? Evo2 # 249/501.....I then couldn't get away from him. Such a lovely man. 😊 7:02

no daft music, no over the top editing. just tiff going round a track that he knows like the back of his hand, seeing every move he does with the VHS filter on it like the original race. what a video. perfect.
-
Tiff should be back on TV. He’s a great personality and was a great inspiration when I was growing up.
-
This has won the internet today. Thank you 👏👏👏
-
Wonderful! Thanks to everyone for making it happen.
-
Tiff is a legend, I'd have no idea he was in his 70s! He looks great, drives incredibly and probably presents better than ever! His passion and energy has always been infectious, it's so nice to see you both on screen together again.
-
Tiff, ahh such a legend and what you get on camera is exactly what you get off camera. His enthusiasm has never dwindled as many who've traversed Thruxton side ways with him will attest to, whilst he single handedly keeps tyre suppliers in business.
-
Love Tiff, great to see you guys back together, disappointed that it was too warm for a Skoda rally jacket 😉
-
Fantastic! Thanks Jonny and Tiff and film crew. And thanks to the wonderful owner of this car for letting it out to stretch its legs.
-
Absolute legend we don't see enough of Tiff, you can hear the emotion in his voice as he's driving. You make the best content Johnny!!!

Last time I saw Tiff, he was taking a pee next to me at Thruxton a few weeks ago. He was very friendly and polite 😂
