[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 20798, member: 64"] I have to admit, I still watch for programs of the original (UK) version I may have missed. Not many places you can watch a Veyron run reasonably hard. If they're hanging caravans from blimps, etc., it's quickly turned off. Usually, when the camera has them broadsliding at 6 G's in a BMW or such, all the while spinning the steering wheel like a top, and sitting there like they're in an easy chair, you know it's faked. At least the little guy owns a new Morgan in real life and that means he waited while it was being built and that suggests he has a real interest. It's the US version that really is a clunker! One of their contests (I finally turned it off) was won by the car that held the most water with the windows closed and could still drive! You'd think if they were going to put that much time and money into a show about cars, they'd at least make it reasonably intelligent to their demographic (old farts who like vehicles). A disappointed, John:confused: [/QUOTE]
