Piss off, I'd have specified V6 D8, not "6 cd changer"...

That Fiesta review was hilarious! Funniest thing I've seen in ages!

Re: Top Gear
Just in case anyone's wondering, no it wasn't me! If I had to pick one aspect of the 406 to bang on about, it wouldn't the the cd changer and its measly 6-pack.

Re: Top Gear
I thought about what that chap said and I can see what he meant.....A nice comfy cruise machine and plenty of music to listen too 
it's just that it's an odd thing to comment on, like no-one else has a CD player 
I was amazed that the shopping centre let them do that - what with all the tyre marks an all

The best bit was when for a split second you caught a glimpse of the film crew in a window reflection as the chasing car (was it a corvette? can't remember) hurtled towards them sideways. They were starting to run for their lives
