Wonder if anyone is going to try Shell Ford today? The below picture is the one from this afternoon. I like the way the 'flooding' wording on the sign has been obscured by flood water.

Right at the end of this clip, just before Clarkson talks about liking British or Italian cars, there’s a bit where the car comes into shot from the left and accelerates away from the camera before changing up to 4th I guess.

That noise is by some margin, the finest noise a road car has ever made
