Went to the launch of the Rolls Royce Wraith at their factory in Goodwood. They have a huge lump of walnut that they use to take the veneer from. It's sliced and matched all round the car. Has to be perfect or it's rejected. The leather shop was similarly OCD. They only use one specific breed of cattle for the…

Never watched one of these before. Why is the voiceover man shouting? It sounds like an advert rather than impartial show. And why does the pony-tailed test driver look like a car thief???

She took it to be washed in Cheetham Hill, which is a complete dump and rammed with crims

Peugeot 406 and VW Beetle - about as unautonomous as you can get!
