Didn't even bother watching it tonight, watched it once, then decided it wasn't any good! I thought it might be similar to the Top Gear Stars in Fast Cars, where Jimmy Carr was brilliant, and they had actually gained celebrity status! This show appears to have used most of the ideas from Top Gear, which are good once or twice, and in this case if it's some F*** rustiness, or some FWD car! Good video Aymat, shame, as it looked like a straight car. In the true words of the screen saver on my mobile, 'Yes it will fly!'

MJ wrote:(Fri Jan 20) Anyone see stars in fast cars tonight? Great fun, they had minis driving onto the back of a truck like the Italian job amongst others. But the important part, during one of the things I thought I saw a 300 in the background.

Took some screenshots and looks so. The black bit looks like a spoiler but not sure...

EDIT: is that a tow hitch?
Well, looks like they used it :(

Interesting that despite the full weight of the shell (note: no engine/drivetrain) landing straight on the roof from that height, neither A pillar was completely flattened. Hardcore.
