I always really liked Alain in Fifth Gear. Top Gear was great, but Alain and Vicki in Fifth Gear we at least as great to watch.
Great video. Thanks for posting.

 Met Mr de Cadenet during car week in Carmel. He had a Stelvio that he was driving for Alfa and showing off. Apparently Alfa had a dinner at Cassanova in Carmel but neglected to have a place to park. I let him use my pass for the lot in my motel. Great guy, glad I met him, though he did offer a ride in the 8C during the racing but for some reason that never happened.

Such a fantastic piece and love story. I was a huge fan of Alain and his car review series back then. And the Spitfire low pass is the bomb! Thanks for posting that Baz.
