Anyone got a set of headlight protectors for sale? Pref a Mk 2 but not essential.

As for the film, well, glad ime not that sad enought to watch it. Never managed to watch a complete episode of that series with some cartoon guy called Homer in it either, think its called the Simpsons.

It probably is bud.

Just my feelings on British humour relate to Ken Dodd, Dad's Army and when things were done 'jus like that' before the Fez fell off. No offence meant.

None taken mate, next time it comes on why not give it a go, worth watching just for the early 90s motors!

great film , so is Love Actually ( another Hugh Grant job)
very funny and very clever due to lots of little sub plots that intertwine
1991 BX Meteor 1.6

On the subject of Hugh Grant films, my favourite is Bitter Moon. Very poignant for me as it had striking similarities to what was happening to me at the time - and became a bit of a turning point in my life.

Hugh Grant is someone I'd very much like to smack in the face, so won't watch any of his films. Maybe it's because a former girlfriend forced me to go to the cinema to watch Bridget Jones or maybe it's because he said some very nasty things about a Citroen Dyane he once owned. Or maybe it's just because he's Hugh Grant.
