I admire your honesty Jeff,if not so much your leather chaps.. Looks like you were a bit of a spunk magnet back in the day!

Unfortunately had to sell it 4 years ago

What- ta Car..

Nice work! Such Pain to have had to sell it. Drove a TR for a few great months.

My first car was a Fiat Mirafiori in 1988.Funny thing was that after buying it i later realised the car in the Salvation film clips (? the scenes where the bloke is running after the car driven by the woman - i always assumed it was from Salvation but i've yet to see that film)) featured on Touched By The Hand Of God video was the same model

Doesn't Lewis Hamilton make you sick! A wet and oil soaked track and he still does the third fastest time, only 0.1 s slower than Nigel Mansell in the dry. And he had one hand off the wheel and was singing to himself for most of the lap...

Hmm, I took that with not so much a pinch of salt as the whole packet.

Well, whether the time was real or not, he was fucking FLYING, I've seen virtually every lap round there and he was ON FIRE.....setting up 4 wheel drifts on the way into corners, the works.

In fairness, I never saw Webber's lap

Just found it a bit hard to believe that there could be that much of a gap in a, what - 90 bhp max, family saloon, with 2 of the worlds best drivers in it.

Surely if you can master an 800 bhp F1 car, there just cant be that margin for improvement. It must be like me and you racing fairground dodgems round a go-kart track

I've no reason to believe that the times are not genuine, but they definately use footage from more than one lap - witness James Blunt this week. Going through the second last corner his wipers were going, however they were off in the next shot around Gambon.

Had never heard James Blunt talk before - he seemed genuinely funny.

Maybe the others never took it quite so seriously at the time...

Why is the last corner called Gambon?

Cos in series one, Michael Gambon nearly sent the Suzuki into low Earth orbit at that corner.

Yeah, James Cunt was OK......reminded me eerily of a young (late 1970's) Frank Williams actually.

But hamster in the (heavily down tuned I may add) F1 car....ROFLMAO...

"ohmygod ohmygod OOOOHHMYYYYGOD!!!!!!!"

its strange that they are always obsessed with shopping, but hell, most of the shops on the high street are mainly for women, strange, very strange
