Just a heads up, there's a program on Sky Atlantic on Thursday 15/03/12 at 8pm which may be quite good.

Petrol Age:

"New. Paul McGann presents a new factual series telling the absorbing story of British motoring. This first instalment is a celebration of speed, looking at the history of Formula 1. (1/4)"

Yip noted, was fast fowarding through the Soprano's adverts last night when that caught my eye enough to rewind. Series link set.

Have you been to Brooklands?

I went to a VSCC 'trial' day there a couple of years ago, it was brilliant! One of the trials was a timetrial up the old test hill. Amazing to see Frazer Nashs and things flying up in anger smile

Well worth a trip mate, especially when there's something on.

Brilliant programme..!! Paul McG was an excellent host. He has "Britishness" all the way through him like a stick of rock, and although he confesses not to be a fast driver, he's clearly still a petrolhead. And his calm, measured delivery is a pleasant change to the whooping Americanised hosting too often present in other programmes.

I really enjoyed that.

I thought it was good too.

I agree that the presenter seemed genuinely interested in the subject, which makes all the difference to me smile
