Default [08x06] November 14th, 2005

Vicki Butler-Henderson tries to crack 150mph as she makes an attempt on the bindfolded land speed world record, Tiff Needell drives the Ferrari F430 Spider and Jon Bentley reveals definitively whether expensive petrol is worth the extra cash. Actor and celebrity bike nut Charley Boorman will also be filing a video diary from the Motorcycle Show at the NEC.

Yey its Jon Bentley talking about fuel again images/smilies/yawn.gif Oh and motorcycles...great images/smilies/zzz.gif (sorry, don't like em much!).
On the plus-side, the F430 spider and Vicky blindfolded at 150MPH images/smilies/biggrin.gif - Which car will she use? images/smilies/think.gif

*sigh* do we really need Jon Bentley to tell us about expensive petrol - if your car's designed to use it it will make a difference - full stop.

Looking forward to the F430 being Tiff-inated though images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Pffft, i would rather listen to him talking about motorbikes (i love bikes.) then sit and watch those max power rice mobiles. Theres plenty of reasons why bikes are better then cars, but i wont get into that here.

Those "cars" at the end of the last episode looked like someone went at them with a pick axe, sledge hammer, and a couple a tins of emultion paint. images/smilies/lol.gif

Oh and one last thing, the next episode is 08x05, not 08x06. images/smilies/wink.gif

Vicki should be OK, I can't wait to see Tiff with the 430. I'm just wondering why - FG (Jason Plato) tested the 430 last season - are they doing it again?

Spider vs. Coupe, and if you notice Plato tested the entire ferrari range last season, I am guessing somewhere in his contract he is to test highend cars.
