Robins look good in flames too:

Snob!

That isn't a Robin..

So I hear that somewhere, buried under this load of o/t cobblers, there's a really fine Cortina build happening, which is surely more interesting than burning Regal Supervan IIIs, even if they are Trotterised ones and as such, no great loss.

It's not Delboy that puts me off the three wheeled horror, not even the ugly shape puts me off that much:
It's this idiot.

blackadder etc was funny, i cannot stand mr bean.. although he is very popular with the french

Someone - probably a sad wee soul who likes the intimacy of a willing animal and whose house is covered generously in moulded "stone" cladding - is indeed an idiot..
That's not a fecking Robin either!
But there's a Chrysler (or Talbot?) Horizon in that clip as well as a lovely MK2 Vauxhall Cavalier (Opel Ascona?) soft top and of course Mr Bean's Tartan Red MK2 mini from the days before he acquired the Citron MK3 with the black bonnet, which later transformed itself into a 45369 green example, keeping that black engine lid.

Well there's a surprise..

benny hill was very popular too...

Aww, good old Benny Hill. I always thought that it was just as well he wasn't in charge of the van door explosion exercise in classic 1969 film "The Italian Job". With his reputation, I doubt they'd have wanted him blowing anything off..

No idea, but Mick might have a clue.

Stick with it, there are some really good bits between six hours thirty five minutes and eight hours seventeen minutes.
Make sure not to lose your distemper or gloss over any of the action, let us spray that nobody from the crew became too rattled before the vinyl cut was in the can..
