So what have they got, and what should they have had?

Spotted a Ford Corsair cabriolet, various classic MGs, a VW camper, strangely, plus plenty of corporate sponsor BMW and MINI stuff.

I saw a Rolls Royce Phantom, Healy, Taxi, Clio RS, Jaguar XFR, Focus, Fiesta, BMW X5 & MiTo. I saw many others, but they faded into the masses of noise/lights. smile

Can understand why BMW wouldn't gave wanted any modern rivals there, but there should have been a Silver Birch Aston Martin DB5.

Pity they didn't get a Morgan in. They use BMW engines too don't they?

Should have been a couple of V12 Aston's drowning out One Direction.

I think someone left the indicator on when parked, so it's gone into "I'll mark the edge of the road with just one set of lights" mode.

I might be being generous.
