This week's Midweek 180 has finally arrived, and I'm excited to dive right in. First things first, I want to thank my last week's commenters who started the year off with a bang, gunning for a new record - 35, that is! Whoever put that comment out there, I've got to give you a shout-out next week. And whoever else is reading this, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, put it in the comments below, and I'll give you a shout-out too.

But before we get into all the juicy details, let's talk about last week's question: would I do another meet-and-greet? The answer was an overwhelming yes, absolutely! And I'm thrilled to announce that I've secured a very, very cool car for you all to come and see. I know, I know, Goodwood is always the top choice, but I also listened to your feedback - lots of people said can I do one a bit more centrally? Well, my plan is still in the works, but I promise you, it's going to be just as awesome as last time.

Now, let's get onto this week's question: what's the most reliable car brand in your experience? Oh boy, I've heard it all before - "Branson", " rubbish will they break down?" But seriously, folks, I want to know what you think. Is there a particular marque that consistently delivers when it comes to reliability? Let me know in the comments below.

Moving on to some Formula One news. I was shocked to see that Ferrari has fired Mauricio Arriva - Benny, who's been with them for a while. He's been replaced by Mattia Bonato, a guy with a more technical background. Interesting move, folks! And if you're anything like me, you'll be excited to hear about the Dakar Rally taking place this weekend in Marrakech, Morocco. Don't forget to tune in on Saturday at 6 pm UK time if you're in the country - and don't miss out on some fantastic footage of the rally.

But what's got everyone buzzing this week is Ferrari's new car news! The Brabham BT62 track-only car has just been announced, with a price tag of £1.2 million and 700 brake horsepower. And here's the kicker: it's not just going to be a one-off special - Ferrari plans to release a road-legal version, which will set you back an extra £150,000! Now, I know what you're thinking - "Is this for me?" Well, folks, I'll tell you one thing: driving one of these at Tesco's is going to be quite the experience.

Which brings us to Friday's video at 6 pm. If you haven't already seen it, make sure to tune in because I've got a special guest behind me - Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio! This car has been kind enough to lend it to me for the week, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on its performance, handling, and all the good stuff. Could this be my next car? Only time will tell!

And that's where we'll leave it for today. Don't forget to subscribe to Petrolhead TV and hit that notification bell - there's plenty more content coming your way, I promise! And if you haven't already done so, please take a moment to give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment or two below.

also been filming with this little beastie this was delivered on Friday this is an alfa romeo giulia Quadrifoglio more about that in a moment and i was that ill it sounds like my house for two days without me actually driving it so anyway if you've not seen one of these before this is my midweek update where I bring you my news views and information about upcoming reviews all filmed in one take I'm gonna 180 seconds in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen and that's it a very simple format so without further ado let's get cracking with this week's midweek 180 I shall start my timer ok

the good news is I'm doing one I can't give you too much information at the moment but I have secured a very very cool car for you to come and see and I'm just at the moment talking to a venue about doing a meet-and-greet that might not be at Goodwood lots of people said can you do it a little bit more centrally so that you my plan but there's a little bit more to kind of work out and then I will bring your video within the next week or two about a meet and greet which is going to be in March this week's question is I don't know what you think the most reliable car brand is I often get comments when I put videos up about Branson or the rubbish will they break down and I had an O and I just want to know what your thoughts are what's the most reliable car brand in your experience and Formula One news this week I was shocked to see that Ferrari have fired a Mauricio Arriva Benny I quite liked him he was a bit of a character he's been replaced by a guy called Mattia Bonato who's he's been part of the team for some time a bit more technical guy interesting to see how that one pans out then second III of the year is this coming weekend on Saturday from Marrakech in Morocco it's gonna be on the BBC red button if you're in the UK and also there's some quite cool footage this week of the Dakar Rally taking place always like watching The Bacchae rally it's such a shame it's not

festive speed they they release the Brabham be 62 track only car 1.2 million pounds 700 brake horsepower but Brabham have announced this week that they are going to do a road legal version it's basically an option you have to spec when you buy the car it's an extra one hundred and fifty thousand pounds to make it road legal but I thought that was very come pretty much driving one of those to Tesco's to do the shopping quite scary and then this Friday's video at 6 is this magnificent creature behind me so I've been very grateful this week for Alfre ok giving me this Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio for a week and I'm gonna consider this could this be my next car and Friday's video at 6 is basically me talking through the pros and cons of this car you may well think it's a bit more than my budget can stretch to but you would be surprised Biblical performance 500 all through the rear wheels 600 Newton meters of torque 190 miles an hour top-end it is a superb superb car and that
