No doubt this has been highlighted a few times before, but it is one of the more comprehensive launch publicity films around!

I am in hospital at the moment with a nasty infection in my leg, apparently picked up from camping at the National Rally, hence the time available to trawl youtube etc.

No humans were harmed in the making of this car.

Good luck with the leg, Matthew. Sounds like a nasty case of Fen-leg. Now you know what soldiers in WW1 had to endure.

Sorry to hear your in hospital Matthew. Hope you get better soon. Nothing better than a good old YouTube binge to help. Nice find. :)

What!? Thought it was at least a week's stay. Was just about to organise Club Grapes, Lucozade and a Private Nurse.
No matter.....Good to hear you're on the mend. :P

Wishing you a speedy recovery Matthew, was it due to 'dodgy cooking'!

I very much appreciated the further kind remarks and good wishes and I am now back home after securing a discharge! The sequence of events was that I knelt on something sharp when pitching the tent at the recent rally and the cut then become infected and swollen, initially just around the knee cap and afterwards quite quickly and dramatically the whole knee, lower leg and foot. It was not until last weekend that the other swelling took place, while attending a family wedding near Brentwood, Essex, which resulted in a late night visit to the local A&E and acquisition of antibiotics. As the tablets brought little if any improvement I saw my local Doctor on return, with a referral to our main hospital in Norwich and two days on powerful injections and a drip that thankfully have turned the situation around. My leg and foot dimensions and temperature are now almost normal, although I have a further eight-day course of tablets. Altogether not a great experience, but is does make you appreciate the value of the NHS and my issue paled into insignificance alongside some of the other poor souls encountered on the wards!
