Good to see James contributing to a review again. He's getting funnier every week. As for the Ferrari vs Aston part, any idea who the drivers are?

The 575M GTC isn't certaibnly driven by him in the preview. But I saw a glance what I thought was a tall guy with curly hair in the Vanquish S.

waiting for some proof/ examples images/smilies/rolleyes.gif ..... otherwise its just idle speculation based upon the unfounded opinion of someone who clearly dislikes these dvd's images/smilies/rolleyes.gif .... just like last night when you stated

I still disagree with you on that one, and you only came up with one possible occasion of a repeat as far as i recollect, which is just a tad off 50% of his dvds being reused material/ car crash vids images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
