OK, seeing as I though JC was a total arse & didn't even thank you guys for making the effort to go all the way to Dunsfold and help make the feature, I will do the spoiler, so if you HIGHLIGHT between the arrows, you can see what it was...


>>>>>>> VXR8 <<<<<<<


I thought at the very least Jezza would take 5 minutes out of the day (which wrapped 2 hours before schedule don't forget) to speak to you, as it was, he didn't do photos or sign anything. Infact, he appeared to have an attitude of being too important to chat with the 'little' people, because he certainly had time to chat with staff. I hope this was a one off & he hasn't gone the way of Hammond, who never has time for anyone. Even some of the staff told me James is the only gent now images/smilies/sad.gif I think he would do well to remember that it is the public who have put him where he is, and keep him there. Remember Johnny Morris is all I'll say.

Oh, and how do I change my pic & nic?

I think it's an alternative to an Exige or Subura or Evo personally - not the Audi,Merc,Jag,BMW saloons.

Absolutely. Wasn't it mentioned that it was a bit like comparing dogs & cats? The same price tag, but a different animal.

A few years back, Clarkson claimed that he disliked personalised reg' plates, so why has he got one? or have you just put that on yourself with paint or something to cover up his real reg' plate?

On that matter I have to agree with Viper. But that is one cool car. Well, until it left the factory that is.

A little off-topic, but I've been wondering about this for a while. I didn't want to start a whole thread about it, but has anyone noticed that in the supercars to france episode Jeremy's Ford has a personalized plate on it? It says MAN 550 X. Now of course he might have switched plates for the episode, but it was used on public roads.. I figure it would be a hastle to change the plates for that. Just an observation, please resume normal service...
