good vids, I like those guys.

But damn that one spitty with the bubble rear canopy was just blasphemy.

Never liked the 2 seat Spits but they still sound great. Remember that episode with the challenges against their German counterparts, was very funny in parts (especially the overemphasising of the war etc)...

Matt: Me too, I miss those programs from the time when I could still watch the BBC.
And the bubble canopy may look wrong, but DAMN I'd like to go for a ride in that one!

Gnomey: I don't think I've ever seen that episode, gotta see what I can find online at YouTube. Have you got an episode title or something that'll help?

I love the sounds of Merlins in general.

Edit: And of course they had to use the main theme from "Battle of Britain" - pure joy for a soundtrack geek like me.

It is Series 11 Episode 6: "Top Gear" Episode #11.6 (TV episode 2008) - IMDb

This should work as a link to watch it: Top Gear Season 11 Episode 6 - full episode - Car Videos on StreetFire

If not just search for the series + episode number and it should find some things.
