Coventry Transport Museum, Saturday 5th March, 2011.

1) Coventry may not have a lot going for it but it does have a Transport Museum - hardly surprising given it was the centre of the British car, motorbike and push-bike industry for so many years. It attracts visitors from far and wide. Look, here comes three from SE Asia now! Oh no, hold on, it's just Anne, Vicky and Derek doing an impersonation.

2) 'Oooh those sinuous lines'. Anne and Vicky discuss the aerodynamics of the 2001 Bentley EXP8.
3) 1987 Porsche 962. In an age when all racing cars were big, this one was BIG.

4) Quick run! His eyes are glazing over. He's gonna start reminiscing any second now. Dave goes all gooey over the 1980 Silk Cut Jaguar.
5) Howard is ready for Ewan to take him The Long Way Down.

6) Thrust 2. Good in a straight line across a desert but not so good around Brands Hatch.

7) A bit before his time but Howard feels strangely drawn to the Raleigh Chopper. He isn't the first and he won't be the last.

8) Anne and Vicky feed the 'squizzies' and 'pidgs' in the grounds around the bombed-out Coventry Cathedral.
9) Anne has a pigeon phobia - so she is being very brave here.
