ive just got back from the NEC after going to the mph and classic car show today. the classic car show was very good, 4 or was it 5 halls of shiny classic cars to dribble over

i also managed to have a ride in a car ive lusted after since it came out, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage from the mid 90's

550bhp brute of a car, a bargain at £65 for 20 min.
the mph show was pretty dire, very max power/gumball/chavtastic.
the live show with clarkson,may and hammond was very good though, just like watching a live hour and a half episode of top gear. lots of stunts, supercars and humour from the 3 of them.
oh and the programme pretty much confirms the worst kept secret in tv, the identity of the Stig
