I'm still waiting for them to upload the original Vectra review. That was bloody funny.

For the uninitiated, it involved Clarkson talking about everything but the car, while receiving irate phone calls from his director to talk about the car. He couldn't think of anything to say about it, but did praise the little tool that removed the dustcaps from the wheels.

Vauxhall were distinctly unimpressed :)
