Upon reflection, though, I'm a little disappointed we never got a Renault LeCar-branded Wang PC.
I still see these advertised in SkyMall. Speaking of cars, check the blog.

Top Gear Season 10 where Jeremy Clarkson tries to smoke a Porsche smoking pipe backwards because he insists Porsche puts them engine in the wrong end...then chokes on the ashes.

Excellent.
