I remarked to my husband about how wide and flat the V6 had got - then he narrowed the width of the screen and it looked different!! Maybe you had the wide screen thing on too trog!!
I thought that was one of the best Top Gears this series, even Anne Robinson was pretty amusing!
I have never seen them so enthusiastic about a car as they were with this V6 Clio. Pity it was raining for their track drive, otherwise it would have been closer to the top of the leaderboard...

Are you sure it was great and not just because of the huge amount of money your dealer conned you out of?? You can get the same effect by using about £1 worth of Gloss Guard finish!!
Maybe it isnt really his dads car! He could have just taken a picture of someone elses car he saw parked up somewhere!!
Whatever does someone want with an M3 AND a DB7? What does BAB stand for? Surely Robs dad would have his own initials on the car!!

WHY DONT YOU TELL THE GUY TO GO AND GET YOU ONE AT THAT PRICE THEN if that is what he thinks it is worth!!
Perhaps you could search online at http://www.autotrader.co.ukwww.autotrader.co.uk and copy and paste adverts for similar cars then print off a copy for the guy!!
Meguiars is poor second to Turtle Wax Extreme Polishing Wax and even poorer to the superb Turtle Wax Gloss Guard which you can even apply without polish if your car has been cleaned fairly recently. Armour All Car Wax, Simoniz Original and Comma Top Gloss are very good too.
Meguiars is a bit...
Pepsi or Coke is also good at cleaning up old coins if they are left to soak overnight! I wouldnt like to get it on the paintwork as I think it would act the same as bird poo because of the acid content!!
I always use Mr Muscle glass cleaner and clean kitchen towels.
I know someone who puts a small amount of vinegar in water and uses that with a leather kept just for the windows.
Too funereal and drab looking. Personally I think there needs to be a bright contrast for the black body and the tyres otherwise there would be far too much black.
You will need special primer for the plastic first.
Copy the paint code from underneath the bonnet, take it to your local bodyshop/coachbuilder and they will mix the paint up for you. They can mix any colour from any manufacturer.
Better still, let them do the whole job for you!
Why are there always people, who, when someone is getting a new car of their choice, remark "....... but you could have got an Evo/Scooby/TVR or whatever? Broadbean has decided to get a gorgeous V6 Clio so why should he have got an Evo/Scooby/TVR? Of course he could have got any of these cars...
