Bloody blindin'! Haven't laughed that much in ages - not since they did the 'cars into boats' one when Jezza bolted a massive outboard onto a pickup, Hammond had a van turned into a canal boat, and Mr Floppy Hair had a convertible sail boat. Absolutely classic stuff - I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their programme planning meetings!

We love the 'Toybota' episode too Unfortunately, my oldest 2 want to be Clarkson and Hammond and the 3 year old's favourite phrase is 'Oh cock!'

But.. they're the "leaders of the free world"

Aren't they?

That's what they keep telling us

Not me, thanks. But if you can get past the cracker stereotype (caricatures aren't difficult to find) it really is physically a beautiful place. Have you been there?

That's the problem - there are so many places in the US I'd love to visit, both natural (Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, etc.) and man made - Vegas, New York, San Francisco, NASA, Disney and all the associated stuff, wildlife parks, etc etc etc .

Programmes like this show up the worst bits of the US - but the fact that they exist at all is scary.

But you also can't deny the huge achievements the US have made.

The thing is it's so huge with suge a huge population that you also have the full range of people from nutter to genius to ordinary to criminal - and TV and films show the extreme examples.

Oo I'm going on a bit - best stop

Every country has nutters, I worked lots in Louisiana and Texas and met some of the nicest people in the world, friendly, well-mannered and polite, and they were supposed to be the hicks. If you insult people you should expect a reaction, come on that's why they did it.

The people I met from north of I10 were even nicer.

A great country with great people IMHO.

What was insulting about their cars though? Comeon Rednecks - get a sense of humor!

Honestly, if you were to do the same thing in NZ or England or , maybe, OZ nobody would care.

As for a trip to Alabama....not anytime soon.
