The car in the video is an Escort Cossie which I doubt has 550bhp - more like 350 - I will try to find out. I like the Bentley idea but I think my post lottery attempt will be X5 (therefore mobile windbreak) powered with just a hint of nitrous.
Having just misspent an evening staring at the box (sad, or what?) I think TV car advertising must be at it's lowest ebb. I do feel sorry for those marketing guys only earning £250kpa who have to devise something new in the way of TV ads.
IMHO the worst one recently in UK was the Fiat one with the girl driving away from the bloke - the grossly overworked "girls are bright/blokes are thick" line.
The best? Well at least Skoda doesn't take itself too seriously.
Any nominations? Read more
Ow! I asked for that!
But, come to think of it, those lycra cyce shorts....

Reliant scimitar ss1. Plastic bodies and Nissan engines/gearbox in 1.3(?) 1.6 and 1.8 turbo engines. You can get these well under a grand.

I'd say we're in for a real raet this year with C4 getting a grip
on WRC coverage from the very beginning. The programmes a good length, on at a sensible hour, great camera work, Virtual Reality 'Fly-throughs', Penny Mallory..... all in all a great package, can't wait for this saturdays coverage.

Got home tonight to find a mail rejection message: their link does not work.
One way to stifle adverse comment, I suppose!
The Terry Maxwell Song
My mother said that I never should play with the naughty, rude girls in the wood.
Their giggling talk I could never understand, and that's why I fell in love with my right hand.
And that's why I'm a w*nker, I'm a w*nker and it does me good like it bloody well should.
I'm a w*nker, I'm a w*nker and I'm always pulling my pud.
I was twenty-five years old before I was kissed, and then I found that I preferred a swift one off the wrist.
It's cheap and convenient, you can't catch VD.
It's available at any time and it's absolutely free.
And that's why I'm a w*nker, I'm a w*nker and it does me good like it bloody well should.
I'm a w*nker, I'm a w*nker and I'm always pulling my pud.
Oh, Mrs Palm and your five lovely daughters, thank you for having me and being oh, so kind.
I've got pains in my arms and my dong is growing shorter,
My knees have turned to water, and I think I'm going blind.
I've w*nked over Italy, I've w*nked over Spain.
I've w*nked in an omnibus, I've even had a w*nk in a train.
I've used a badger and a melon and a cat, an inflatable Linda Lovelace, and a Davy Crockett hat.
And that's why I'm a w*nker, I'm a w*nker and it does me good like it bloody well should.
I'm a w*nker, I'm a w*nker and I'm always pulling my pud.
Oh, Mrs Palm and your five lovely daughters, Thank you for having me and being oh, so kind. I've got pains in my arms and my dong is getting shorter, My knees have turned to water, and I think I'm going blind.
Thanks to Doc Cox for his inspration. Read more
Not even original. Was recorded ages ago and featured embarrasingly in my reply to the penetrating "5 questions" in December. Bit sad that someone has listened to the record a few times and transcribed it all.
Would the Citroen fans like to comment on the failure of *two* of the Xsaras in the Monte Carlo Rally before a valve had been opened in anger and on the cheating swines changing tyres during a fuel-only service?
Was it me or did Skoda get *zero* coverage bar the unfortunate Italian-job-esque parking on an alpine hairpin? Read more
Guy, although my name is not Al if I may make a comment.
The coverage from C4 was the business, though I thought Max Mosley flanneled a bit and did not clarify the protest issue much.
It's a shame that a lot of converts to rally watching might get turned off by the who's actually won and we won't know until the FIA complication bit.
Last year the Citroen team were the wizards on tarmac.
Looks like the same this year, obviously when the engine is working.
If I were Mr Head Honcho of PSA Group I think I would be asking the following searching questons this morning.
Aside from the tyre changing debacle, if I am paying for two teams to compete in the WRC how come one team is ace on tarmac and the other ace on the loose. Is a bit of cross fertilisation needed? (that is aside from PBWLR)
Secondly why did Peugeot allow a situation to develop where a driver whom
I am paying 12m quid only drive the car a few times before the first event, and not at all on dry tarmac which lets face it is a significant part of the WRC. Was it because we did not provide him with a car or testing opportunities, or was it because said driver was so busy with other things eg launch of range of trendy clobber that he was not available. If it was the latter a few harsh words in Mr Burns shell like would be forthcoming pronto.
Finally Alwyn, thanks for the comments on the navigation instructions e mail, I hope it really did improve the viewing.

Some details of the engine would help i.e age and what are the rest of the emission figures CO% HC ppm,CO2 and O2 plus lambda value if 92 on.
From this we may be able to assist (won't we ADAM!)
I fear that Madame at age ## has had a rush of blood to the head. In a few weeks the Golf that she isn't really entitled to but is driving anyway is due to go back to the leasing company. It's kept the tyres from flat-spotting, the brake discs clean and the battery charged. I was hoping to reintroduce her to the diesel AX which I am driving, but even when I suggested upgrading it to a diesel Saxo or Xsara HDi or something that I would call "sensible and economical", she fixed me with a gimlet glare that I rightly interpreted as "no way on God's earth am I going to go back to the AX after using the Golf". Call me telepathic ...
She announced firmly that her next car will be "sporty". After close questioning and much initial disbelief then hilarity from the rest of the family this lunchtime, "sporty" apparently means 2 doors, but able to seat our 13-year old and his 5-year old brother in the back, and emphatically not a hatchback. A cruise through the car-by-car breakdown and some other car sites has suggested a Puma, a Tigra or a Hyundai Coupe, to a budget of £10K. Showed Madame a picture of a Xsara coupe and got that stare again, so it won't be a Citroen.
Any other suggestions? Big shock to the system the thought of buying non-Citroen, so I'm off to the pub to recover and hope the backroom will have it all sorted for me by the time I've downed a couple of pints of Black Sheep.
