Ha ha! no but am I sad for secretly wishing they had given me the Marina instead just to have a bit of a laugh in! Remind me of the day's of no power steering and naff brakes! plus no RFL to pay!

Just yesturday BBC2 didn't update their time schedule to virgin that their channel was running over 5mins behind (probably due to the darts match)

And me in my infinite wisdom had reduced the lead-in and lead out time to 1minute (default 5mins - which sometimes caused recording clashes if recording more than 2 things at the same time, so I reduced it).

First time its happened though; lesson learnt: Just as well we have torrents

Agree. I love Top Gear but I do not at all approve of wrecking 70s British Leyland cars. They might be total crap but that is precisely why we should try and preserve the few that are left.

Many classic car shows have few if any BL cars and I reckon its because so few are actually left as most were hated and therefore not looked after.

Well perhaps there are also so few at car shows because they probably broke down on the way

seriously though

Wife was teary eyed over the end of Miracle on 34th street.I was getting really stressed thinking (to myself) TG starts in a bit.

Amazing how twitchy you get.

Enjoyed it though.The review was really funny

I quite liked the review part. Sort of serious, sort of a **** take. Maybe a good idea to do it more often, just keep it a bit light hearted.

I thought the Russian cars bit went on a little too long and I wish they'd take more test cars out on the road, but overall, I thought it was the best one this series!
I usually forward through SIARPC segment, but I thought Boris was funny as well

Top Gear this week was very good (I've only just managed to watch it).
