I got kinda misty during the last segment of that film, with the British patriotism stuff, and I'm not even British ;_;

I wouldn't mind a drive in one (who wouldn't?) but I would much rather own the Jag.

Top Gear!!!! *buzzes about with excitement*

The Marauder segment was hilarious and while the Jag/Eagle Speedster is one beautiful masterpiece, I'd much rather have the BMW 1M for the classic stick-shift rear-wheel drive sports car experience. Sadly that's impossible where I am since BMW is bringing in so few here, so I'll have to wait till they go on the resale market years from now ;_;

lol you wanna save the environment so not only do you buy a car you buy the sportier version of it.

that sounds like a great idea. I'm sure the 3 of them would agree.

info about the upcoming episode (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012c3bz) - do be mindful of spoilers
