If you've never watched Top Gear, do it. You'll see things like this:

I guess I should explain a bit. Top Gear is a show about cars. A very entertaining show about cars. In the episode featured here, the hosts decided to convert a BMW 330d into an endurance racer and run it on biofuel. The show is on BBC (BBC America here), and as such they weren't allowed real sponsors, hence the Larsen's Biscuits. Here's the other one they cooked up, Peniston Oils:

It's a fact, Brits are best. I love this show. Almost as much as I love myself. And that's a lot.
go to youtube and search "Top Gear Caravan challenge".
Dave, Vieve and I were talking and she mentioned that you have DVRd several episodes of this spactacular program. We need to have a Top Gear party or something. :)
I must admit, I've spent many an hour on YouTube watching some of their episodes. I love the challenges they do -- so random!
