I loved the pace shuttle. I cant believe the damn thing actually worked (that does not happen often on the show) aside from the separation. Cool lawn dart.

Army- it's part of the National Motor museum in the South of England, it's quite expensive (around £16) but I was there for an auto-jumble/yard-sale that gave free admission to the museum

After watching the 'Shuttle' launch my wife even became a Top Gear fan.

Then she saw the test of the Vauxhall that is based on the Holden. Two weeks ago she bought home a Pontiac G8 GT which is the same car but with only 355 hp.

She still wants me to pick up a new Mercedes this fall, but she thought the G8 would do until the real thing comes along.
