Re: Blue Peter
You must read the same forum as me 
I didn't know any film existed until yesterday. If you look closely you can see the wheels glowing as they spin at 150 mph. Quite something to watch. Is the mid hants film up yet? |

I've seen it referred to several times, but I never knew what it meant!
Thanks for that, Andy. It explains a lot! |
