I read the whole post in it was a full day, not week.
Bet it still cost the GNP of a small country to detail too!!!

I like it how he "suggest's" that it's the one captian slow wound out,and then bags the **** out of him for the way he treated it.If it is that car,why not just say it was that car,and like May's going to give a crap about it afterward.The bbc probebly paid them to detail it anyway.

It wasn't the car May drove, perhaps he should remove the remark about the 50's sponge.

Absolutely remarkable detailing job though, the reflection shots look like they were done in a mirror, not off the body of a car.
