It's like James saying someone would be killed to death. Who cares if it's redundant?

I was going to make a point about the race, but it might be deemed "a spoiler" and I don't know how to create spoiler text. If anyone could tell me how quickly, I'll post my thought.

Any particular reason for that?

Anyway, the beeb says you're wrong:

Not sure whether this should be in the spoilers (I don't want to look in there anyway!) but there is quite a big article in Steam Railway magazine about the train's run...

For those who haven't fallen asleep by now images/smilies/tongue.gif , it goes on to say that Network Rail pulled out all the stops, even to the extent that the run they made was actually better than the same run taken by the Royal train!

And for those who still haven't fallen asleep (a whole post about trains on a car forum!) , Tornado, the locomotive, really deserves a look... (also there's a Top Gear article)
http://www.a1steam.com/

£3 million to build a 1930s locomotive? Hell Yeah!

Will this whole mininova crackdown thing make it harder to get a good top gear torrent? I mean I use SMB but I'm pretty sure they rely on Mininova in some way too...

Same here!

Really, if they ever feel like doing that in the future, I'd happily watch it.

I'm so excited for this though! *flails*

I'm just sad that my dad's cabin most likely doesn't have internet, or I'd be all over showing it to him immediately (he's never seen any TG). Or, I could just snag my sister's computer and my hard drive and show him the older eps over the weekend and get him hooked maybe?...
