Over here I am watching on Acorn TV; Vintage Roads Great and Small with Peter Davidson and Christopher Timothy in a 4/4 driving the old roads of the British Isles. Very pleasant viewing.

Saw the Bentley one last night. Amazing how something so electrically complex can be built, tested and finished in only 16 hours. Not decrying the complexity of that W12 engine though or the level of perfection with the interior materials. Truly impressive.

Interesting facts: the combined cable length in the wiring loom is 5 miles! The W12 engine is shorter than the lesser capacity V8.

I gave up halfway through it the whole experience was efficient and totally characterless - I'm looking forward to the Morgan one when it screens.

You possibly missed the bit in the Trim Shop that made me laugh Richard - they only use hides from the male bull as those from the female bull can have stretch marks due to pregnancy (or words to that effect)...
So that would be from a cow then? laugh2
Overall I enjoyed it. Definitely looking forward to the Morgan one grin2

Why don't they take the hood down? And don't get me going on when they wash the car with river water.
