Good Luck! :)

1. It was only until British Leyland, the chief executioners of our car industry started to get all cutting edge that things took a turn for the worst.

2. However, if I were to buy a British sports car I’d be tempted by one of these.

3. The Mick Jager of super cars.

4. The normally aspirated 5.4L V8 only has 354hp, but its lighter than the Jag and its got more torque so its faster from 0-60 by almost half a second.

5. Now its just such a shame that you’re going to be humiliated on your first time out…

6. The looks may be an acquired taste, but I love them. The massive thrusting bonnet means loads of power, and the enormous flared rear arches mean rear wheel drive.

7. In the world of max ****, size matters. 17” alloys matter. A few inches of ground clearance matters. Spoilers matter. And perhaps most importantly of all a decent paint job matters.

8. 07710. 27710.

9. And was so power dressed in the 80s it should have worn shoulder pads.

10. So what’s the famous company’s vital key to survival? A radiator.

8. Richard hammond who said call this number if you want a free Vauxhall Vectra for a weekend (test drive).

That's the only thing I could come op with, but the nr is probably to long to be a telephone number.

I've got a clue for questions 9 & 10 but I'm gonna watch the video again when I get home.
