Always puzzled me why he pronounces was as WUZ & because as BECUZ. Anyone any idea, considering he is middle class but who many people describe as posh, it seems more of a working class pronunciation.

He is originally from Bristol. Same reason even posh Yorkshire people don't have grarse round their carstle.

Really enjoyed the programme and looking forward to the next 2. The Lada estate always reminds me of the FSO my dad used to borrow and pick us up from school in p! wearing his slippers

...and down South.

Why? Just why does James need to succumb to such antics?

[Athlon]

Once again what starts as a decent programme is dumbed down to stupid levels. What a shame, I had high hopes for this series.

[Inertiatic]

And what was the point of that?

[Bonefish Blues]

Wit of fk

[SydneyBridge]

Am not very awake but why are they destroying two rather lovely cars?

[Janluke]

More pointless destruction

Yep. firing AK 47s at old cars, feckin' top telly, for moronic tts.

Surprised at May doing this played out ex TG stunt once more.

The French stuff was a bit tedious but finding the transit and Japanese pieces interesting

Is there a playlist of the music used anywhere?

[em177]

Want a Mazda 360!

[BrabusMog]

Why are people so bothered about old cars being destroyed? Get a life.

Because, as we established last week, this appears to be a contracted Top Gear Special with just James May, as opposed to a James May programme like Man Lab or Toy Stories. Sadly.
