    When is the Top Gear special on does anyone know?

    No special until next year unfortunately but BBC are doing a mini series called Racing Legends on Thursday, Friday and I think Monday profiling Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Colin McRae.

    You can always watch their worst car in the world dvd. But you will be wanting your 75 mins back afterwards.

    No doubt very patriotic and biased but sounds like it's worth a watch all the same:)

    A lot of their stuff is like that. When Dave show a few series back to back it becomes irritating to watch after a while. It's grand to watch one if the newer shows for some of the cars but at this stage you can guess what they are going to say next. I know it's more about entertainment as opposed to cars these days but they really need new writers!

    Is it OK to abandone people to waiting for a taxi after they asked me to do designated driver and made me wait for hours 'for one last hand'.... leaving me sitting on my own without even thinking to invite me to the game or the like.

    I mean, I could even have had a drink or two seen as we left at 3 and not 13 like I'd been expecting.

    Got to go to the parents in Wicklow today. The haul of pressies in the form of paper negotiable bank notes better be good. I am dying with a dose.

    So, anyone get anything motor related? Got a supercar triple blast over in the UK :) Also got a hovercraft experience in Meath, not the worst 2 vouchers to be getting.
    Drive either the Aston Martin DB9 or V8 Vantage, Ferrari 355 or 360 and the Lamborghini Gallardo - each an exhilarating but totally different drive. Each of these supercars represent the pinnacle of performance engineering and will leave anyone smiling ear to ear.

    Got a rather spiffy GoPro Hero 3. Tis all kinds of awesome. Currently have it mounted inside my windscreen.


    That hover crafting in Athboy is epic. Did it a couple of times, you'll be wanting a nap after though, it's a lot of work!
    It's capable of recording in better quality than most TV sets can currently play!!!!

    Very generous gift!

    I got a trip to Italy in May, renting a classic Alfa and driving around for a week taking in a Sprinstein concert in Milan on our way. Supposedly there's more that I will find out on my birthday. She did really well sorting that!

    I got an iPod and Bluetooth kit for my Passat from myself which was the extent of motor related presents. I also got a ticket to see Clapton in May with my girlfriend also getting one from my parents so that'll be cool :)
