Did any one see this new series that was on Sky Atlantic today at about 2 Oclock called The Petrol Age with Paul McGann looking at the British car industry, the first one looked at the history of speed and had lots of vintage and classic vehicles on it. Could be a good series, any one with Sky can watch it online for the next four days (Ithink you can watch it for a small charge even if you dont have sky. Paul McGann himself drives around in his own White Rover P5b in the series and confesses to being a British classic car nut

I've not got Sky, in the VSCC's Bulletin it mentions him filming at Brooklands during (I think) the New Year's driving tests, so I can imagine it being an interesting watch.

Hi

I am proud to say I have only watched about 2 or 3 hours of television in the past couple of months, and don't have sky. I felt I was watching too much,so have tried to stop as much as I could.

Cheers

Dave

Back off guys watching a program is a choice not a crime, I just thought some one out there might be interested in a program with a vintage/classic vehicle content. I wont bother next time!

Paul McGann was on The One Show last week talking to Chris Evans about his Rover.

Wasn't Paul McGann the eighth doctor? Followed by Eccleston and Tennant.
