Default Test Match Special discusses cars...
Monty Panesar's manic appealing in the fifth Test in Trinidad has been compared by Aggers to "that car that goes as fast backwards as it does forwards. A Scimitar, was it?"

I don't think so. My money is on the car being a DAF of some description with its continuously variable belt-drive transmission.

Who's right - me, Aggers, or was it some entirely different machine?

I think you are right about the DAF. Although given Volvo bought them out and produced the Volvo 66 (a re-badged DAF with CVT) ... he could have been referring to that.

Actually (and this is what's called a link), Volvo has a history of making cars that are fast in reverse.

The very first one off the production line had its crown wheel installed the wrong way around giving it 3 reverse gears and one forward. images/smilies/lol.gif

Or should I say:

Test Match special is a BBC radio commentary (broadcast) of Test Cricket Matches. They are usually very conversational and have a habit of going off on tangents.

I used to love listening to Brian Johnson (who died a few years ago) on Test Match special ... he was the Murray Walker of Cricket (he could make a dull game interesting) .. the current guys do a good job of filling his shoes, in particular Jonathan Agnew ... who Ironlord was referring to in the OP.
