I think you should drive it, on a date with Alissa Walker. She walks in the Light but the Dark Side is oh, so seductive.

Some minor welding and she’ll be as good as new, sir. Shall we discuss payment and shipping options? Urn or cardboard box...

A statement released today said that the slogan ‘Friendship is Universal’ is:

This is far cleverer than I suspect most people are giving you credit for. It’s almost art.

My reply to someone else re. the rear fibreglass box section appears to have disappeared into the ether but, if you’re ever in rural France, do what the locals do and buy your dairy produce from a farm shop rather than a grocery store or a supermarket.

You have a keen eye, sir/ma’am. I tried to pass it off as a Rancho but you’ve rumbled me.

Responding to reports of so-called ‘digital vandalism’, Trump’s PR team were quick to show they have a sense of humour these days. “Those Earth-based hatchlings and their fancy USB connections,” they quipped, showing a new friendly face of the campaign prepared to laugh off a prank.

If you’ve got a customer base I see no reason why this wouldn’t work, in much the same way that JDM enthusiasts are prepared to pay a reputable company to make all the hassle and paperwork of finding and importing a good car just go away.

I found this excellent example after just a few minutes of searching. Most aren’t anywhere near as well preserved as this one:

You’re probably on Firefox - ver 45. has a major bug. Just hit refresh and all will be well. Possibly...

I do understand where you’re coming from. “Oh look, the back of my 1976 Cadillac just exploded with all those chickens in it.” <cue feathers>

Everyone would love to see VBH on Top Gear. Because she’s an awesome driver. And no other reason. None. None whatsoever. Ahem. (She is an awesome driver). My wife would kill me as I constantly replayed her kicking the back out of a Legacy estate around a track.

Set range on the HSI to minimum and follow the magenta line with your predicted track. Breathe and you lose/gain a few knots or 50 feet - it was horrid. It’s doable - we did it - and it’s probably not as twitchy in the aircraft as it is in the sim but not something I’d recommend!

I’ve done a four and a half hour flight in a 757 with no operational autopilot. Once. All three systems crapped out near TOC, which required us to re-route outside of RVSM airspace, and we could take about 30 to 40 minutes each before handing over to our oppo.

The BBC and its budget are a political hot potato here at the moment so it’s hard to say. My guess is it’s a fraction of what it used to command under Clarkson, so those amazing trips abroad involving taking an estate (sorry! wagon) or a forgotten classic across a fantastically beautiful landscape are long since gone.

Well... as a temporary ex-pat who pays his BBC license fee back home I am also a bit underwhelmed with the internet support from the BBC. As you pay for BBC America, you should have access to iPlayer as well. I think it’s coming in the future with the possibility of a login account but, until then, you’ve paid for it…

I agree completely with your assessment. The autocross track was an inspired creation (and perhaps the only original thing in the show) but the segment itself was dreadful.

Hah! It’s true. We don’t pronounce any Japanese car make or model as the Japanese intended whilst Americans get a lot closer. Not 100% correct, mind you, but a hell of a lot closer than we do.

After a brief sojourn through time into the internet circa 1995, it seems that Ling wants the UK to leave the EU in the upcoming referendum. Cameron, on the other hand, is forecasting financial meltdown, global war, an ISIS invasion, a plague of locusts and rivers turning to blood if we leave.

The problem with this is ‘kit to motorcycle in 2 hours’. Two hours...
