If someone would scan pages from their sizeable collection I'll gladly receive them and, after checking them out for quality and accuracy, post them!

Kate Moss and both of the Dimbleby's - at least according to Clarkeson. I think he mentioned Colin Powell too in that Top Gear video.

Rob, where's you place in Cornwall? Do you take your car there? It's my family home though I enjoy living in London most of the time (!).

James, its actually Devon, just outside of Okehampton and about 5 mins off the moor :o
I was intending to take the car down last year for the summer holidays but it ended up at RE's due to the radiator giving up.
This year though as long as we get some sunshine 8) just returned from there just great driving roads.

You'll only get the T-shirt if you add at least an entire technical topic to the Wiki!  :D
