Also, that story about using two cars is rubbish, I heard that before, they
said the first car didn't explode in the proper position so they used a second,
well that still doesn't explode.  I heard it was a rebodied Lancia Flavia(I
think) that they used, don't know if thats true, perhaps I'll write to Newport
Pagnell, it's only up the road, in fact can't you pop in and ask for us all Pat
Catchpole, that's your neck of the woods. :-)  Also, the Lambo Miura at the
start that ran 'into' a digger, why was it flat????  Surely the front would
have been crushed, and while I'm here, why didn't it have an engine in it???

Also, why did the mini's that went over the cliff at the end NOT have twin
tanks when the others used in the film did???

On the subject of the E-types, yes, two did get trashed, the Coupe was a write
off, but the convertible was repaired.

Ha ha, me too, and I've got the Italian job!!! :-)  Books are OK, but they are
pretty useless if you can't read :-)
