Car: "Napoleon" Rep Power: 49 | The whole thing once when it was on telly, and the first ten minutes on Youtube. I hate torrents, so can't see it as much as I want, but pfffft. I watch the America special most, I just love it, the old cars, the hilarious antics, and the fantabulous music really makes it too. The Winter oympics after that. Once the Arctic special is fully on the Youtube I'll start watching more. There's so much you miss on the first couple of viewings.
