Wrecks drive

Memo to any executives who've left the BBC recently: Did you forget to pick up your car before you left? Monkey only asks because the BBC is trying to track down the owners of six cars that have been left in the Television Centre car park for "some months". They include a Mitsubishi Shogun, a Renault Clio and a Ford Escort Encore. OK, Monkey can see why that last one was abandoned. This is an interesting one, though. Who would leave behind an Alfa Romeo 156, registration 567873 DUBAI? Whoever it is, they'd better hurry up to reclaim their motor. BBC in-house magazine Ariel reports that after January 25 the cars will be towed away by the Top Gear team and be crushed live on air. Actually Monkey made that last bit up. They'll be towed away by the local council.
