Finn's Fine Books

Why, hello! Oh, Shiny facsimiles of books I'll not be able to afford.

*drool*

Secondly, and more importantly - Top Gear did a second amphibious car episode. It involves the English Channel and the Hamster sinking. again.

Now, I knew the first episode existed, I watched the thing on BBCAmerica. But somehow domnall stumbled across this second one. Wheee!

For those who don't know - Top Gear is a glorious British car show. Generally, the phrase "how hard can it be" tends to lead to chaos, panic, and disorder. I'll dredge up some other videos from the show later and add links - things like car darts and the convertable people carrier (ie: mini-van).

(Parts 1, 2, and 3 are the first episode, and 4, 5, and 6 are the second one - just so people know.)

I love love love love love Top Gear.
Did I mention I love it?

One of my favorite episodes is when they successfully outpaced a military helicopter in some uber fast maneuverable sports car.

That and the one where they covered the new Aston Martin.

I know so little about cars (I managed to shock my British friends last night with the knowledge that I can't drive a stick shift), but Top Gear is awesome just for the interviews. And the one where Jeremy Clarkson drives the tiny, tiny car around the BBC. Hee. Jeremy Clarkson cracks me up on QI, too.

Lady Asni wanted to know if you were free on Saturday (tomorrow) to discuss the comission you requested. She said you had her contact information?
