well, it did have the new disco on it, thobut they weren't all that impressed with the interior space.



but what impressed me was the big go-away Mclaren-Merc. Standing-start lap of their test track getting on for 3 seconds faster than anything else.


oh and the nun in the monster truck was quite amusing, too.


Is it me, or did the new Disco look very short, is is mop head and clone of mop head even taller than I thought.

I liked what they did to Hamster LOL

clarkson is about 6'6".

That explains why the Disco looked more like a Freelander or the fabled Range Stormer LOL

Fabled? It's real. It was on display at Gaydon on the Marque Day.

There will be a few changes before production though. Not least to the doors!

Indeed. Posh Ted was unsure, though...

they always change the nice bits. I loved the seats, bet they don't get into production either.

one day, someone will have the cojones to produce a concept car which isn't watered down about 10:1

you just want to be able to buy a new 101.

This may soon be (sort of) possible :-)

When? I trust you remember what SWMBO said at Driffield Martyn? She is claiming to have forgotten.... :-(
