I know it's only a car, but I found something slightly distressing about this, almost like watching one of those cruelty to animal videos :(

Perhaps I'm slightly too attached to my car and may need therapy.... :confused:

OK we do not know if there were any rust issues, wlking round bashing was sensless, yes it hurts to see one of my all time favourites going through that. ok the road test was good, it managed the whole coarse, that was good, I do not want to see part 2 it has nothing to do with MB quality, OK it has the effect of making the remaining examples worth more.

Yes.

That motor is a ringer for mine although mine is a bit younger and lower mileage etc.

That show is pure evil in the respect that they do things like that all the time.

There was another one where they bought old motors, drove them the length of the country and when they made it they ran them into a brick wall!

If that is not enough I believe Clarkson votes Conservative!

And what about the Hamster?

PS I could have used those chrome wheelarch trims too!

Yes, I feel the urge to save the car as it looks like an older relative to mine :(

I wouldn't mind the chrome arches, how about we split stir?

The woman is very irritating on the video too. lol

The problem I have with this sort of thing is when they use a very good servicable car. When they use old bangers that are only good enough for the scrapyard fine. They probably thought the baseball bat made good TV, even the presenter didnt like doing it. ( Yes she is irritating. )

She got on my nerves with the bat "oooh I'm sorry, *hits car again pathetically" "oooh I can't do it"

Stupid bitch.

Why did they need MOT on it too? :confused:

If that was my car I sold to her, she would be getting the 'bat' treatment!

I'm awake because I've drunk a whole bottle of wine tonight and have been feeling slightly ****ed, so to avoid any midnight sick attacks I'm not sleeping it off but foruming it off :)

And that's the honest truth!

(see I had to edit it as I can't really type!)
