Almost brings tears to your eyes, i might even go and wipe some mud of the
headlights, and polish a little tiny bit, (not a bit that anyone else can
see, of course!)

EXCEPT clarkson spoils it with 2 words at the end

That's a great video.  Does anyone have a downloadable link to it, or have a
way (FOC) to save a streaming video like this ?

Oooph, I dunno.  Isn't polish going a bit far?

Not really.  My Chiropractor got stranded in Denmark whilst visiting
her parents (she got the date for the ferry wrong - she is blonde and
pretty so I forgive her)...

Had a 1hr session today - heaven!  I was given some Morphine by the
Doctor to get me over 'the festive season', got to admit that 2 weeks
of that left me a tad doolally - tis all a cloud, gradually clearing
(my excuse in case I was rude to anyone...)   :-)

You've got my sympathy Martyn - I've spent the festive season suffering
from the same problem.  You've done better than I have in the
chiropractor stakes though - mine is male, dark and ugly but bloody good
at his job.  Now he's back from his hols and has attacked my back I can
move again so I guess I should get into swapping engines this afternoon
so I can go out and play offrd.

Soon - but not yet.  Got a few more bendy-cracky-ouchy sessions first,
then the three legged doggie exercises followed by Max trying to shag
me before he remembers that this tends to make his nose hurt  :-(

Still, better than the 6 weeks in traction which was the alternative.
I seriously cannot fecking believe that in this day and age they still
do that rather than pay for Chiropractors on the NHS.  How much does 6
weeks in hospital cost the NHS? (Not to mention my lost earnings).

I wish I hadn't watched that I've had an outbreak of Landroveritis again

hamster presented it tho as the dishevelled May owned a landy?

No, Hammond is the LR fan.  I think the S1 he's driving in the clip is his
own.  There was an article in one of the comics a couple of years back - he
has (or had then) a S1 and a 110, and he raved about all the qualities he
talks about in that clip.  Sounded very sincere and a real fan - I've liked
him ever since.

I think May is more the Bentley/Alvis/Bristol type.

That clip is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Funny things, celebs and landie shows.  Celebs seem far less 'obvious'

back - eveyone else just thought he were another sad, slightly

I have spoken to his agent, and I also speak to Jerry Thurston

some of our club events.....

I spotted it in the film - 's a good job they gave it a better grille in the
production version.
