hi Jan

In one Aust. episode I watched .. the three presenters took 3 cars down to Tassie , luxury touring /sporty cars (all worth over $100K each) .... Warren drove a Daimler or something..the two others had a Ferrari and a Porsch as well, from memory. What we saw on the air ,was nothing more than a 5 minute skit, with the 3 of them racing each other along a stretch of road, and silly, mindless banter between them ... What was the point of doing it ?

At least, Peter Wherret ( the old ABC TORQUE car show ) gave a serious appraisal of the cars he was driving..he canned the HZ Holden and it caused a shock wave in the motor industry here. GMH were running around like a chook without a head for a while ...

Apparently, FOX pay TV has a show about a guy restoring tanks... now that's what I'd like to see !
Mike
