They're not supposed to be in it, they're signed up for the next series. This one would have been wrapping up filming when they were announced.

I watched the new episode of Series 3 last night and thought it was really good and the 3 of them were on top form. Very funny at times, lots of cars and not too much irrelevant chat.

Ah, that explains that then. I can enjoy this series and then switch off.

They have, but that's not to say I didn't enjoy it!

The MC Senna, whilst it looks like a kitcar, what a Mmmaaachineeee (said in JC voice)!

In my opinion they can repeat all the previous episodes, as long as they'll include new cars and I'll watch all day long!

Let's conclude; it's far better than the standard shite on TV!

Prime is pretty good Wills I was sceptic until I realised.

My music stream choice was Amazon Music at £9.99.

Switched to Prime for whatever it is 7.99

+ Most Music
+ Free Devilries and the next day thing is truely great
+ Some fairly naff TV that I see as thrown in for free.

If you're paying for another music streaming service it's worth a look to roll so much into one.

PS it's the free 'Devilries' that really make it worthwhile

Most music is stretching it a bit. When you start looking for specific tracks is gets tedious as loads you have to pay for. I end up swapping to YouTube half the time, which is annoying itself with the ads, and I'm not paying for it.

But Amazon is pretty good for playlists by genre that you can just leave playing.

TV is better than it first looks when you have a good search. Some good bloke boxsets. Vikings, Black Sails and Into the Badlands are all pretty entertaining and loads of seasons of them to get through. They all take a couple of episodes to get going, but all definitely worth sticking with.

While I pay £79 a year for Prime membership, in practice it works out a great deal cheaper than that, since every time they miss a delivery date, they extend by a month if you ask them. I seem to be on course to get 3 around years Prime membership out of the last £79 payment. This is helped by the fact that we place around 200 orders per year, so over those 3 years, they will have missed about 24 out of 600 delivery dates. Thanks Hermes

You have to ring them, or at least that's what I always do, and while they don't offer to extend it unless you ask, they have never refused

Enjoyed it, thought the trio were really back on form
Looks like they'll be pitting an M5 against an Alpina B5 at some point, from the new series montage at the beginning

You don't have sky? I wouldn't be without q. I can recommend you. We both get £50 worth of m&s vouchers or whatever... You know it makes sense.
