Damn I wish I could get that program over here! I loved UK tv (even though there were only like 4 chanel's)

Maybe the wife will get a great book deal and we can move there!

I like the hydrogen powered thing with the steer by wire system. I predicted that in the 4000hp Golf thread. Well nearly.

yours, Pete.

5 analogue channels 'off air', or around 15 digital 'off air', or around 50 - 100 through satellite/cable.

Trouble is, there's only around 8 channel's worth of programmes worth watching spread across all of them.

Still, the 'generally crap TV' situation means I have few distractions and can get on with my car...

I decided yesterday that there's only one program worth watching and that's American (The Simpsons).

Unfortunately, I still find the 'magic-eye' distracting- that damn telly we have in the kitchen that I have to walk past to get to the garage seems to call more and more often!

easy solution james, move it to the other worktop so you walk behind it and don't look at it!!

If we get broadband round here the telly is going. The license fee is extortion and the bbc is a monopoly that should be abolished. I could watch dvd's on the computer or go to the cinema more often. A friend of a friend who has not had a telly for the last 6 years is still getting threatening letters because he doesn't have a license and at our last house I used to get them every fortnight telling me I didn't have a license for No15. I got fed up of telling them I lived at No19.

yours, Pete.

Saw it & recognised it. In a previous life, this "vehicle" was launched at the NEC, in the 80's, by a Dr. Jephcott.

Many years ago Ariel, the British motorbike manufacturer, did a 3 wheeler moped with a tilting front wheel and the engine over the rear wheels. It was only a shopping trolley with an engine but the design was basically similar, just on a lot smaller scale.
