... for providing me with my own personal inside lane of the motorway from Rome to Pompeii and all the way back again. Nobody ever strayed into it, and I never had to stray out of it. Way to go guys, I must have undertaken half a million cars.

And what can I say about the charmless VW Polo I hired with its 33cc 8hp engine except that made getting back into a V6 a thousand times more pleasurable. The last time I had to drop down to third on a motorway to keep up with traffic I was driving a fully loaded Luton van.
