There's a much bigger pic here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonysph...70313/sizes/o/

This car ... a winded colleague ... ... ... ... a ... for it's own safety of while gravely winded.

Ambitious writing, but rubbish!

"This car carried a wounded colleague then.... (gibberish) ... without a... (more scribbling) ... win safely + while gravely wounded"

At least that's what I can make out...

EDIT: Dang! Thief beat me to it!

EDIT: That gibberish is a place name of some sort, I think.

Hi all (first post - long time lurker),

I think that it reads as follows:

'This car carried a wounded colleague from the battlefield without a thought for it's own safety & while gravely wounded.'

HTH

Looks like Jeremy hated that Kia Sedona 2.9 CRDi TS so much that he let James drive it. images/smilies/lol.gif

Why did they take the Alfas away on a truck? I would guess they were headed for the track.

And annoying. What's with this new trend of uploading still pictures on youtube? Surely just hosting the pictures somewhere would've been faster for the uploader and nicer from the user's perspective. images/smilies/dry.gif

Stopped watching (skipping through, actually) about half-way, so if there was some video in there, I apologise...

Blimey.....HTH must be a genius to get "battlefield" from that scrawl lol images/smilies/biggrin.gif images/smilies/biggrin.gif and I forgot he's a Doctor (twice....by post!) images/smilies/biggrin.gif and I agree....he's after a VC for his Alfa.

That pic vid was sweet but I couldn't watch it more than once, least not with sound, after Jeremy's recent bashing in the papers re swearing at a kid on hols (good on ya JC...kid deserved it) it's good publicity to see them happily interacting with the younger public.

Can't wait to see this alfa challange, specially if all 3 had to be taken away from a shoot on a truck lol images/smilies/biggrin.gif
