Anyone watch BBC "Top Gear" this morning on TV1? "The MX5 is a car for girls and blokes who like ABBA". Must be true. I know some girls who have one and I'm a bloke and I like ABBA!

You admitted that on a public forum? How brave is that, I hope you have a
flame proof suit.
More importantly though, Top Gear found that UK gatso's (speed camera's) don't
register at 275km/h. I wonder if our equivalents are the same?
Isn't it great to have Clarkson back. A top wind-up merchant and he speaks
English, I could never figure out what his predecessor meant by poands.

Haven't watched it yet. They did a program on the British sports car a few
months ago. At the end, the presenter (can't remember which one) revealed what
he considered to be the only sports car true to the British tradition. He
stood aside to reveal an MX5 (of course)!
My wife likes our MX5, I'm a bloke (last time I looked) who happens to like
ABBA, and what's more, mine has a funny gear selector that says 12DNRP with an
overdrive button. Guess there's no hope at all...

PS. Just had to go through to Picton to do some work. Magnificent 20 degree
day, blue sky, very little wind. I love my (MX5) work vehicle on days like
this.
