run for three years, (do own simple servicing like oil changes etc) then next big bill, simply scrap it on ebay

I only watched up to Vettels fast lap result last night as was late. Gotta agree with all the above - he seemed very down to earth and up for a laugh. Was funny when he corrected JC talking about the Stig "shouldnt that be...some say". I hope he follow RB and gets a t-shirt done saying "I beat the Stig and Rubens"

That Mclaren looked amazing on the fast lap - so settled. JC always has to moan about something tho.

TBH, every review I've read on the MP4-12C says the same.

I'd now have a 458 over the McLaren now.

Every review says the McLaren is the better car in almost every respect but they'd all choose the 458.

Last night was a good laugh. When Hammond was serving the food and got to 'scum class', he just chucked a banana in the door.
