Exactly - good time for the film, also letting news items mess up TV programmes is getting silly

I wouldn't, Alfa for me  ;)

I'd have the Mazda although it's not as fast as I thought it'd be. I'm sure the figures aren't a kick in d' ass off what my MV6 estate would do.

(Granted I'm sure it goes round corneres a damned sight better!!  ;D )

I don't understand all the fuss over Alfas - I have never understood it, can anyone explain?

I think the Alfa was bloody ugly! The new Audi TT is a big improvement on the old one.

I was disappointed that they'd cut out the train crash footage.

Didn't think it was one of there best shows ever, ok the Bugatti is a wonderful looking car, but a time filler proving that it could do 250 mph.

I checked the Sky guide last night, and special that JC mentioned for next week is a thing about buying a car instead of renting for a fly-drive holiday in America.

Guess they'll never show the train crash thing then.
