If you had to work with Richard Hammond and James May you would look like that too.

JPrime posted:Watching an older episode now, when the presenters talk about getting insurance quotes, and they come back at like 2/3k pounds...is that per year? 1/2 year? Whatever length of time it is it's pretty insane compared to insurance in the US.

sbaldrick posted:Would you really want to buy anything build to lovely modern standards that has been sitting empty for 5 years? Hell in the USA I wouldn't touch anything built in the last 13+ years if I was looking at a single family home. I know of a certain development near me (100+ houses) that the builder put in air coniditioning and heater units that aren't designed for the square footage of the house. So you get massive bills and then your units burn out from being overworked. Then, have fun with no-name brand chinese vinyl siding that goes bad after 5 years with bonus of having your roof shingles start to curl and needing replacement as well. God knows what else is wrong with those houses as well. That new house starts looking like a massive money pit pretty quickly.

HoverVan was awesome. Should have used a bigger fuel cell than just 2 gallons for the lift engine.

neckbeard posted:I was worried that they weren't going to give as much time to the HoverVan. I was thinking they were going to try to slip in another little segment as well. Glad to be wrong, that episode was fantastic. Hopefully they'll do something like they did with the amphibious vehicles and do a second segment with a more ridiculous challenge and fix some of the faults with the HoverVan. Actually some of my favorite segments is when they buy a car to turn it into something else. Like the van turned into a convertible, amphibious cars, the minivan race car, the BMW diesel race car, etc.

When Chris Harris made some bad comments towards Ferrari he got essentially blackballed from Ferrari press cars and could only find privately owned cars to do reviews in.

Why else go to the actual port city that was most closely involved with the war? ("World's most southerly ski resort" my rear end; that'll just be something they came up with as a figleaf once the decision to go there was made.)
