Excellent! Thanks for posting those up. At least Clarkson wasn't quite right on the depreciation.....
Insane? Perhaps - especially if measured by the amount of time spent inanely grinning.........

Oh and my fan heater cable won't reach to the bath............

Great piece of film.

I host it on my site permanently (in somewhat higher resolution and differently cut version / 54MB). Ready for download BTW !!!

I love the comment: "Don't use the "ASR Off" button, it will probably fall off anyway".

Watched it many MANY MANY times and still love it.

@Foxie: Thanks for the PDF version. Didn't have that one.
