You had to be there....

Sadly there is no photograph but I am sure someone will tape it and upload
it somewhere.
The best bit was when the chimney blew off on the test track.

DIY car design

You've no doubt been inside a car at some point, and while there you
probably noticed something. Cars aren't really like houses. They don't have
stone cladding on the floor, and they don't have lamps, wing-backed chairs
and wood laminate flooring. This is for a very good reason, a car is really
designed for the purpose of conveying people from point A to point B.
Hopefully this journey will be both comfortable, and safe.

If, however, you're unlucky enough to have a car with an interior design by
Jeremy Clarkson then you probably aren't in for a safe ride. In fact, it may
well be the last journey you ever take.

In his modified S Class, Jeremy even managed to fit a wood burning fire,
which filled the car with a terrifying amount of smoke, and added yet more
weight to a car that was laden down with two tonnes of concrete floor.

Indeed.  Saw it.  Was pretty funny (but then the show is always full of
humour and regularly makes my 9-yr-old laugh out loud), but I was surprised
see that the driver's chair wasn't screwed down since otherwise it was very
dangerous, even on a private track.

When looking at the video, I found something really amusing. The black
S-Class colliding into other S-Class had the numberplate ending with
666. Must be omen or something...
