I was watching some old Top Gear the other day, and they were reviewing the “new then” Vanquish. Jeremy was crying about, how those are the last of the V12s we are ever going to see, due to the trend of cars getting more and more economical.

“James May: Our Man in...” and “James May: Oh Cook!” are also really good, and don’t miss out on “James May’s Toy Stories”

I get the remove covers, connect batteries steps, but why do they have to lift it, to remove the covers?

Since the water wars looks like inevitable, I like something I have a chance in:

How do you head on collide with six dump trucks, one after the other, or 6 all at once? Bit questionable, did your wife buy this?
