Default Nick Mason writes for Sunday Times

As we know, Jezza has been in the US doing some filming (well, we hope so) and as such, has not been able to write his usual Sunday Times motoring column. Last week his wife, Francie, wrote one and this week was Nick Mason's turn.

I'll let you find out which car he had a to review by going to the article yourself ya lazy bastards! Had me chuckling quite a bit throughout images/smilies/lol.gif

Nick Mason is the shit. And images/smilies/lmao.gif he's pulling a Hammond and driving that thing! Hope this speeds up Pink Floyd's reunion tour... images/smilies/tongue.gif

Nice not-so-subtle Inside Out plug as well (I already own it cuz I'm hardcore), because Jeremy didn't plug it enough on the Enzo test.

Which car did Clarkson's wife review. I can't find it anywhere on the Times site. (I can't be bothered going through every review)

The Willys Jeep

She's a pretty good writer. She needs a column of her own somewhere.

As well as the Willys jeep [heehee, puerile ol' me] she reviewed a Caterham a bit back [the CSR?]. She was part of an all-women rally across Europe, and I can't for the life of me find the link.
