You did not like the fact that they recognised Captain Slow in Syria?  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Just watched it. They do get to travel to some fascinating places, don't they?
Thought James had some of the best lines, especially his holy diatribe on the BMW gearbox.
Nearly spat my tea out when they revealed the baby.

Passable. But not a patch on last weeks. Pushed it too far (as is often the case). Stunning vistas though.

I'm not. I remember 5th Gear did a piece about the base model Z3...it barely moves - heavy & underpowered.

Owning a Fiat already, and being well aware that they are pretty well screwed together despite their reputation, I was taken with the idea of owning a Barchetta next. The only snags I could see were I don't have the money, and they didn't make a right-hand drive model.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

LHD is great for confusing the 5-0. Just make sure you put Best Beloved in the passenger seat and get him to hold a mobile to his ear EVERYWHERE you go. Then you get to hurl abuse at them when they get it wrong. Trust me - I've done it, it's fun  But honestly, IF I suddenly transformed into a hairdresser, I'd have the MX-5.

Caught the end of an ad that says the show starts again on the 23rd, the net suggests it's a 6 episode run...
