Missed most of it  ....due to the fact that I went to collect my new Troy Bayliss replica crash helmet up on the way home from work.

i think its repeated on Wednesdays around 7  

[Lizzie_Zoom]

I have just done something I do not normally do and watched Top Gear

I found it very entertaining  .......

 :-? I'm very surprised! I'd ahve thought that Top Gear would have been right up your street ..... so to speak  

It is . . . . when Heartbeats not on.

You got it in one Skruntie!!

I have just done something I do not normally do and watched Top Gear

I found it very entertaining and I loved that Datona!

That particular car though was not an original 1968 product, but from 1972 judging by the number plate .  Still lovely though

Yes...The Daytona was  a "L"reg car Lizzie......between 1st August 1972 and 31st July 1973....I have no idea when they change plates now ......can't afford a new car anyway.

I can never forget that year Optimist as 1972 was when I got my first brand new company car, a Ford Escort Mk1 1.0 in lovely red. DJG 679L if I remember correctly!

Like automotive pornography....

loved the bits where he was lowering the window to listen to the engine note

You must have been a "slip of a girl" back in 1972 Lizzie........naturally I would'nt dream of asking how old you were back then.

On Top Gear tonight "hamster Hammond".....will be driving one of my all time favourite supercars....the iconic ......FERRARI DAYTONA.

Logging of now with dribbling anticipation.

i prefered the old lamborghini Muira meself

Everybody loves the Miura because of the film The Italian Job.

But I really love the looks of the almost forgotten Espada.

The Espada was a lovely looking car ,and a full 4 seater as well.

Any pictures please.

I am a Daytona fan.  One of the Directors at work had a 72 model in Red, Awsome piece of engineering.  had the pleasure of going in it quite a few times, sadly was never allowed to drive it.  But have been a passenger in it just short of flat out.

You are a lucky man Skruntie.

Not many people can say that they have been in a Daytona.

I was very lucky in one sence. My Father was the transport manager for the company.  He often brought home the Roller, XJS, Daimler and many others, With it being a family firm there was quite a collection of cars, Aston Martins, Ferrari Dino, HS and HSR, Lotus Sunbeam, MGB GT V8 .

I part learned to drive in my Dads company Car which was a BMW 2500 and where I think my love of big auto's started off.  As I had passed my test I also borrowed one of the 1st 4wd Subaru's in the county and put it though its paces, naff as FWD but bloody awsome in 4WD.  Still hope to own a Legacy one day.
