But you would be at least twice as high visually than in this 49cc contraption...:-)

Sorry woodbines. Penny's just dropped. I misunderstood you yesterday.

Thank you of course for explaining the watch thing.

I won't say more for fear of annoying the authorities :o}

missed Sunday's show and the repeat last night.

a) was it worth watching
b) is there a 2nd repeat or do I have to wait a year until it appears on Dave or some other satellite channel

That is purely down to personal taste. Best to record and then FF through the dull bits.
b) is there a 2nd repeat or do I have to wait a year until it appears on Dave or some other satellite channel


Actually the satellite channel 'Dave' on Sunday at around 7pm is only approx a couple of weeks behind the current BBC2 series. This Sunday for example is showing the channel crossing in their amphibious vehicles, and Jools Holland (yawn!) is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

"Jools Holland (yawn!)"

I'd still trade the ability to drive for his ability to play the piano...

you can download the recent top gear episodes through bittorrent. Theyre all on the UKNOVA website. As far as I know, it is legal to do it.
