"Have a colourful holiday!"

The pilot, afterward:

Ha!

Oh that'll be easy enough. Instructions:

Yeah according to the dreaded Wikipedia, it started from the same tub. Tom Walkinshaw Racing built the R390 as well.

It's basically one of these in a cocktail dress:

I've been a very naughty boy; my library books are very, very late…….

To be fair, they were all divas, the lot of them: Prost, Senna, Mansell and Piquet! I think at the top of any tree you care to mention there is always going to be an element of it - but in those days Grand Prix drivers were a lot freer to speak their minds than they are these days (they were probably the last…

That's nobodies business but the Turks.

Not nearly enough shouting or bondage for this to be the German Morning Shift :P

You do make a good point, and it's one which I've considered a lot before (I'm an auto design student so I spent way too much time thinking about this sort off stuff!) and that is, if something existed in the past and it was profitable then, why is it not made now?

"Mrs Robinson, you're trying to seduce me!"

Also, he got the trains running on time…. :D

Probably because the Airfix 1:350 HMS Illustrious wasn't made at the time… :D

Point taken, but there is a line in the dialogue where something is said (possibly by the defence minister) about "sending the entire Royal Navy to within shooting distance of the world's largest airforce".

You know what bugs me about that film?
