Default Just been to watch Top Gear

Just got back from the hanger (which by the way was F**king boiling) and what a cracking day!

James may goes to the states and meets with Ken Block in a new Subaru Impreza..........

This is Ken Block for those who didn't know

God the geezer can drive!

I went in 2004, it was the episode when the DB9 raced the train from south france. Was a great day - had a chat with JC and Hamster who were really friendly

A friend of my girlfriend got 4 tickets but only needed 2........... So up stepped me to save the day!

[would have been rude to turn them down]

She had been on the list for about 3-4 years.

I went a few years ago, I managed to tag along with a group from the Civic Type R forum (my mate had one) that got tickets. It was a great day out.
