Quote:"...While James and I have been doing extensive research in choosing a car based on aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, Richard has gotten back to his geek roots and chosen a Ford Prefect. Given the strange reaction of handwavium, this may have, in fact, been the best way to begin...."You realize, of course, that that car won't fly unless there's a towel in the boot. it will, however, translate any language received on its radio to its pilot's native language, as long as there's a fish stuck in the receiver. And the controls are all labelled in large friendly letters.
Okay, we've pretty much written this car up, haven't we? Too bad I've never seen an episode of Top Gear, so I have no idea what the driver's like...
What? Oh, sorry...
Yeah, I remember watching Prisoners of Gravity when it was on the province's educational channel, TVOntario. A bit dry, but the people involved knew what they were talking about.
