I also watched the Pullin Power one on ITV; James Allen said the car of the show was the Porsche Van!

Even if ing is a pre-requisite, I'd still like to have Damon Hill chuaffuer me around like that! You can keep the Merc though, I'll take the thing he was in before that! Don't know what it was, I only caught the programme from there onwards.

I thought it was great!

Apart from the two male presenters, a great show. I loved that Spyker. With the exposed aluminum, exposed rivets and scoops at the back I thought it looked like a WW2 fighter plane- Mustang, for example.

But why do we have to see ordinary people buying ordinary cars??

And do they still make the Frontera???

Wonder what the dealer that lent them the Merc thought of Hill getting it airbourne over the brow of that hill (no pun) like that ? Must have done something to the fornt airdam at least ? Does anyone reckon that bloke puking was a wind up for TV ?

I don't think so, because Damon's reaction of digust / disbelief / non-plussed looked pretty genuine.

Damon was absolutely *flying* though.

Look at the speed the trees were flashing past the windows....

And I liked the dukes of hazzard style jump as well. Yeee-ha.....
