drooartz Gold Member Yoda Registered: 03/11/05 Posts: 5493 Loc: Utah, USA	I just watched that this evening (I'm a big Top Gear fan). A great episode, and one of those shows that reminds me why I wanted an old car in the first place. And reminds me that I really need to get my car finished! _________________________ Drew Frink -- http://www.drooartz.com '59 AH Sprite (The Tunebug), '07 Triumph Bonneville, '09 Honda Fit Sport "Isn’t it cute how, no matter now much work a Bugeye needs, he still smiles?" -- my wife

jhorton3 Jedi Warrior Registered: 04/24/03 Posts: 697 Loc: Atlanta, Georgia	Oh-Ho, that was brilliant! Agree with Morris about James May's co-driver. Now I wonder what kind of shoehorn and axle grease they used to get Jeremy in and out of the Sprite? _________________________ Jim Horton 1974 US Spec Midget, 1275

I guess I'll have to get the BBC channel. cd BBC Channel is well worth it (though, we got rid of cable TV all together a while back... 900 channels and nothing worth watching.) I watch it via the intertubes. There's also an Australian & Russian version. There'd been discussions about making a US version, but you know it'd wind up being totally watered down crap because the automotive advertisers wouldn't look well on a review show totally panning and mocking their cars. And if you ever make it to the UK to visit the show, never, ever drive a Morris Marina (unless you like pianos dropped on you.
