That's one bad crosswind and one botched landing. I thought BA Trained their pilots better than that...

I have indeed Dave. Saw a couple around these parts.

Very similar "face", but little else. Nice little car though.

Hi John,

James May gave one a run in Top Gear last night. While he didn't discount it as an inferior car.. I think he perfered the less expensive and larger Panda many of the running bits come from. It looked a lot less '500' than I expected but I suppose the same can be said for the new 'Mini' :roll: One thing he didn't like was the diesel engine :o
