J.C. Well, if you are a yobbo and you have a suggestion, write it down on a note, attach it to brick and throw it through our window at 201, Wood Lane, London, W, wherever we are, 12. Hammond. R.H. What? J.C. You like a Camaro, don't you? R.H. Yes, I do. J.C. OK, well, they've made one just for you. Here it is. There you go. R.H. Funny! J.C. Ignore the little one, that's a Hot Wheels one. What they've done is a full size Hot Wheels model of the Camaro. R.H. So they've made a full size version of a model which is a miniature version of a full size car? J.C. Yes, I can't understand the logic myself but that's what they've done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C. The worst thing about Hot Wheels is when you get up in the night for a pee and you tread on one. R.H. Or Lego. J.C. Or an upturned plug. R.H. No, Lego's worse. J.C. Why? R.H. Because an upturned plug is big. Lego hides in the carpets. You can't see it. J.C. Is there anything worse than an upturned plug for treading on in the middle of the night? J.M. A land mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C. On the plus side, Hammond and May now had to get across Paris to catch their train to Milan. Which wouldn't be leaving for another 80 minutes. 'That meant I could close the gap 'and I had just the engine for the job.' It's a big, 5.8L, supercharged V8, but unlike most traditional American V8s, this one isn't made from melted-down box girder bridges. It's actually quite sophisticated. The block is made in Germany, where they know what they're doing. It's got plasma-this and Stellite-that.
