Just finished watching it, good old sky plus, I thought it was very good, lovely part of the world, shame it's so war torn.

Did the trick, those guys have the best job in the world, they enjoy it and don't mind letting everyone see it for what it is, anyone who moans about it or spots the joins should go and watch some reality tv, its somme blokes having fun, a bit contrived sometimes but the best things always are, just take your brain out and enjoy as petrolhead tv would be much worse without them.

I'd have been concerned staring out the back of that transporter with the ramp down sat in a car

I noticed Clarkson's brake lights were on...I'd have been standing on mine,secured down or not

I suppose a mx5/Z3/Fiat may stretch the weight limits of the straps that hold tanks down for a day job lol

Most people dont fancy throwing themselves out of an aeroplane but plenty do,

I cant imagine the H&S crap that they must have gone thru for a show like last nights, never mind that transporter scene, all the security/logistics for 3 grown up kids and all the recording equipment, the fact that the BBC isnt the all welcomed tv channel we may think.
