Crap?

Aston Martin Vantage being cained round a track, 911 v Exige 240R beiing cained round track. GT40 being cained round airfield.

Absolutely superb

Couldn't agree more
I was surprised the Exige was pipped by the Porker.

Me too - although VBH did say it didn't really suit her driving style, so I guess she wasn't getting the best out of it. She can drive though

I still fancy the pants off her

Programme was pretty good i just turned it on when they said about that enzo prototype, anyone want to explain what car it was etc .. to me.
What was with the time taking for the lap times going through the computer seemed to take forever.
One of those new Aston's is on eBay but they want money for the place in the que aswell.

The 'Rari was the test mule for the Enzo engine and running gear. So it was part 348 / stretched 355 to fit it all in . They usually do this so that the journo's that sit outside the factory (in an attempt to get exclusive spy shots) don't get any idea of what the final car will look like before Ferrari are ready to release pictures or sign off the body work.
