Anyone notice that the BMW exhaust 'moved' from the left to the right hand side, as did the toilet seat on it move from the 'drivers' side to the 'passenger side', as did the hole in the BMW passenger door disappear. Or did anyone notice the Subaru suddenly become 'left hand drive'..??

About 56 minutes in when they are stuck on the muddy track - seemed to have been filmed through a mirror, or some fancy way of filming eh?...!!!

Regards

Not camera trickery I'm afraid. They went south of the equator and as every body knows, if something goes left to right north of the equator it will go right to left south of the equator!!! Pffff did you learn nothing at school?

;p

Makes great TV. Daft for daft's sake, and there's nothing wrong in that. I fear our fave marque is in for a pasteing though. Not sure teh AWD version would have been too much better.

It can only be a matter of time before someone of this parish suggests the Volvo for this should have been the 'thing' , that hairdressers' car of choice... that triumph of marketing over reason, the Croydonesque XC90. (waits for flak from suburban types)

^^^^... don't you mean the XC60..??....

I agree 740T, sad to see it slowly trashed. Just hope I'm wrong and hope it fairs better than the other two.
