    I actually said it would clear two. Killed me laughing though! Was also funny to see them bickering over the Z4, S2000 and Boxter!

    He looks a bit smaller, but that just because Clarlson is so darn tall!

    I think that all those cars a bit girly.....i know lots of people will disagree. You want the BMW z3 M coupe , a Honda NSX (is that it,) and 911 carera 4 turbo (clearly dont know how to spell carera....)

    I know they arent strictly sports cars, but a lot more male than that namby pamby bunch.....

    I bet they get loads of emails on that issue as well next week! The Z4 ain't girly, neither is the S2000! The Z3 is TOO small! The M3 Coupe is niice!

    it is...anyway, getting off the point i decided the S2000 was just before i posted, dont get me wrong i think it looks nice, and would take it if some one offered, but i think it is girly. Maybe we are just as bad as Clarkson, Hammond, and the other guy...hehe. The Z4 is, maybe just in the light blue color...black could look mean...

    OK.....I worked for a Vauxhall Garage in Hayes , Middlesex. Carringtons, on Yeading Lane., My Sales Manager, was into Motorpsort big time, and saw an article of Perry trying to get into F1. He was struggling. We contacted him, and offered to loan him a car, sponsorship stylee. I have personally driven Mr McCarthy round the M25 in a Calibra Turbo (Mantzel version) to Gatwick for him to fly to a Nissan test session.

    He did some F1 but his team never had any money and twice HE arrived at the F1 races, but the engines didn't

    Anyway...I lent him MY Astra once when the car we had lent him went Pete Tong and it had my rechargeable Drill in it. He used it to put some shelves up at home, and never brought it back to me.

    Sponsorship was cancelled...never saw him again.

    Story ends
