^No idea, but look at their film crew pretty much give you an idea of their production is as big as a small movie company.

The best part was when, despite the BBC warning not to get into rants about the war, they arrive in 3 Spitfires , and more, one of it is doing a victory roll...priceless.

Well, the showdown was not quite what it could have been...it is hard to make fun WITH ze germans, instead of only making fun of them...you can see clearly...they hardly can do more than mumble some words the entire time.

I was most dismayed by Jay Kay's erroneous statements that the "Chevy" Lacetti was American. It's Korean you twat.

Best episode in ages, you can see why Jay Kay was left for last and was in the only single star show of the season, amazing!

Meh. When they started with the Lacetti they said the stars would only be given 6 timed laps. Jay Kay took 8 laps. It was forced. Jay Kay would've gone home crying if it weren't for the universal hatred of the codpiece Cowell.

Best episode since the motor home races, imo. Clarkson's interview with Jay Kay ("Codpiece" Cowell LMAO), Hammond did a decent review of a fast car w/o getting hurt, and the return of Sabine, what more could you ask for?

I laughed so loudly that the security (i live in the student dorms) though I was high on something. Then he sat down to watch as well and pissed himself laughing!. BEST. EPISODE. EVER.

PS. I want to marry Sabine!

It's built in Korea but Chevrolet is an American brand, bit like calling a Cadillac BLS Swedish??

And, yes I know it used to be called Daewoo.

Dream on . It looked like the three Sptifires DID NOT leave England. If they had, you could be sure there would have been a continuous shot of the German presenters looking to the sky and the camera panning to one or more Spits passing overhead. Instead, there was a cut.

Far easier to drive/ship the three Astons and three flight suits to Germany.

This one's based in Duxford:



This one in North Wales:



and this one in East Kirkby:

It is Swedish. The BLS isn't even sold in the US.

Oh, come on! Just because it's built at the Saab factory in Trollhattan doesn't make it Swedish!

I am more interested in the stuff Jeremy presented when he mentioned he found them on the internet. The camera zoomed way out so you cant see what it is.

There's a thread about on this site (same photo every episode?). Thank God the man in the photo is probably British!

(I just realized the link to the photo in the other thread has been removed. Let's just say it involves a miiddle aged man, fishnet panty hose, a Range Rover's exhaust pipe and kneeling. Note the British Land Rover's exhaust pipe is a much smaller diameter than any U.S. SUV, Jeep or Hummer.)
