In the news-section of the episode broadcasted december 19th 2004, James May brings up a coaster-set with holder that is designed like brake discs (coasters) and a brake caliper (holder)..

Yeh very cool, I really want one

i've just ordered the brake disc coasters... now all i need is a mov'it or brembo sticker to put on it instead of that autoart...

that's cool!

and a piston can be perfectly used as ashtray

someone should start a company that makes stuff from car parts. like JC's table and chairs from the "Porsche for ?1500" challenge.

i would love some chairs for my home cinema room made from electrical-operated leather seats from my Volvo S60. Laugh at Volvo if you want, but the seats in that car is sublime...

at present i have a sofa in the front and behind it an identical sofa, but raised up from the floor, to make 2 rows... i would love some Volvo S60 leather seats there instead. with electric movement and ass-heaters...

Indeed. I'd like to have an engine as table !

We're more or less planning to do that with a friend from a 2CV, but well, a flat twin lacks style
