    Apparently the team consisted of Emma Peel, Ringo Starr and Tinker Bell. Along with a chap that looked like Kurt Cobain and a bloke who headbutted the bells but they didnt know his name. So thats a dead ringer and an unnamed bloke whose face rang a bell.

    How many cars has Maserati sold as new that have been on dealer lots for several years with no oil change?
