So Top Gear is scripted ? Who cares ?

[AAGR]

Hands up anyone who believes that TG actually takes place by chance ?

Examples :

• When TG treated the Transit to 'a day' at the Nurburgring to attempt a 10 minute lap, an engineering contact at Ford later confirmed that they were there for several days. Oh yes - and Ford had already spent several days before hand, deciding what engine, transmission and axle ratio would give the best results.

• Then there was the infamous Veyron - vs - light plane to London 'in a day' episode.

Just guess how many days of filming were needed to get 'one day' in the can. Go on, guess ....

[For instance, how very convenient that there was always a camera crew on hand when JC stopped for fuel, or stopped to adjust the Veyron's rear spoiler ....]
