That was worth viewing Peter. I have never seen that before. What do you think was the best sports car. The big Healey 3000 took some beating. Great programme.

I'd love to view that Peter, but for some reason the BBC says it is not viewable in my area. P'raps I'd better get a taller antenna!

Larry,

The big Healey was good but for shear sex appeal I think you've got to give the award to the XK. Descent looking engine as well as good performance.

Dane,

I hesitate to recommend this but there is a way of fooling the BBC into thinking that you are not a foreigner. It's http://www.expatshield.com/

I tried this in Spain and it does work if you use IE as your browser. That said, after using it for a bit I wasn't convinced that it didn't come with a Trojan and in cleaning out my laptop I got scared and decided to get rid of Expat Shield as well.

Peter

Thanks Peter. I could perhaps claim to be a genuine ex-pat, as I left England just a few years ago.......... well in 1949 to be precise.

Following your concerns about the site, I think I might follow up on Youtube instead.
