It actually looks pretty good in the flesh and is a recreation of a Mazda concept...

Has to be the Grosser Benz with the single rear seat.

I'm in the "respect for the sheer engineering but no fizzing in the man bits" camp. I have a list of about 50 or 60 cars above the Veyron on the "dream list"

You beat me to it. You have to assume that all these new Tata designs are being passed byt he folk at JLR to at least benefit from their greater experience in car manufacture.

Sorry, bad phrasing on my part. I know the one shown is a petrol, but there was also a diesel version available later. I know I'm not alone In this hallucination as it says so on Wikipedia too (must be true then...)

Chris Goffey is just as dull as I remember. That generation of Escort will go down in history as "a bag of shite"* and since then even Ford have admitted that the reception it got is what gave them the kick up the bum to produce a car as good as the original Mondeo.

Weird lights - I'd have Frog-spec DS-21 instead with the yellow lamps and a velour interior. Magnifique!

There's a skill to getting a lowered car in and out of car parks and over speed bumps. I sometimes have it. but at other times it's just not possible. That's my excuse for why the race-spec bracing kit on my MX-5 looks like this:-

"knew", sadly :(

Yeah, I knew that. I also checked and the numbers quoted for here in the UK are the same as for the US.

My local race track has this sign: http://stewartracingimages.photoshelter.com/image/I0000SJBkyFn8BNs0

I've always been interested to know when these average stopping distances were calculated and what they're the average of.

Thankfully the London version does without the kazoos!

Agreed - the "Le Shuttle" trains really are an impressive feat and the fastest, smoothest and most convenient way of getting you classy motor from the UK to la belle France and back...

I'd love it if the CHP liveried their cars in both English and Welsh!

Maserati Biturbo 425 in "Licence to Kill"? Not driven by Bond but a fine piece of casting as Televangelist/Drugs Baron Franz Sanchez's ride.
