Clarkson has done similar things in the past with other Vauxhall/Opel
products, costing them a fortune in sales... you should watch his review of
the Vauxhall Vectra. Warning: go to the toilet first or you'll wet yourself
laughing.

Agreed, even if it's not as good as it used to be nowadays (no Tiff
Needell, no Quentin Willson (or 'Count Quentula', as Clarkson called him)
and alas, no Vicky Butler-Henderson) it's still a huindred times as good as
the manufacturer-sponsored promo videos edited together with inane
voice-over that passes for a car show here in Holland
