I'll try and convert it soon, but at the moment I'm having problems so I'll probably have to reload it from the original DVDr disc. So watch this space.

Great stuff - the noise of that engine is lovely.
Top Gear's end credits tune was also much more tuneful too!
Such a shame they were out on a fan belt though.
