Worst episode of Top Gear I've ever seen, I think the only bit I found entertaining was when Clarkson tried to 'fix' the door. Awful episode, dreadful.

You found that awful?

And not very realistic: those (according to the markings) are the local police: think the duelling banjo players from Deliverance but armed with AK47s. Not the sharpest tools in the box. At least they finally got new cars though: I was talking to [namedrop] the head of Essex Police's transport pool[/namedrop] a few years ago, and only a quarter of the Albanian police cars were even vaguely road-worthy. He told me about one car which has four different wheels, each a different size, with a different tyre.

Same here. I'm beginning to wonder if the target audience for the program is now adolescent adults with the onus being on silly entertainment rather than motoring. Retires to armchair with a book and a large whiskey.

Yes - they're about the only ones not stolen. Those and ex-Chinese three-wheel trucks you see everywhere:

A more typical scene. With some mercs:

Sunday 13th Feb 2011

The presenters shop for second-hand convertibles, uncovering the pitfalls to look out for when buying a used car. Simon Pegg takes to the track in the Reasonably Priced Car and Jeremy Clarkson test-drives the Pagani Zonda R

Looking forward to the Zonda R
