 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

and by the first commercial break we are onto the 1980s hot hatches...
and just to be picky...
a GTO does not weigh 3 tons. They would be about 3800 lbs.
The GTO was not the only muscle car "until the late 60s". There were plenty others.
How come that 1968 GTO was on a 1980 "V" reg private plate? Unless it was issed on import it should be age related if you buy a private plate any time since.
PAS was optional extra

Given that series like this will pay the writer £8.57 for a script that will take a week to knock out using wikipedia as primary AND secondary sources and the writer (who has just finished "when pregnant chav's go bad" for sky 56) will also be the proof reader and fact checker. Even Chris Barry only gets £47 for each show. Still at least the production company's owner can afford to eat at the ivy every night. |

Drat. Missed it. We were watching The Empire Strikes back. No retro action unless you class it as a retro film which I guess you could! Better than that modern version, all full of curse word electronically created characters. Not look the good old days blah, blah...
Met Chris Barrie at the NEC Classic Car show. Nice chap and a proper petrol-head. Of the points gap and oil type rather than the POWAAAARGH! type.

In the TV mag swmbo bought, it was billed as hot rod racing... Bit of a bummer to find a fairly generic run through of modded cars and not an oval in sight... Still Chris Barries alright. Maybe we could replace that shop front Mike Brewer with Chris Barrie on those umpteen 'lets fix a car up' progs on Discovery with Ed China. |

Any plan to replace Mike Brewer sounds good to me. Met him at the 2006 Classic Car Show. He's about as pleasant as you'd expect a used car salesman to be (sorry for the stereotype folks but he lives up to it AND some!)
