Apparently the Cooper was going to be destroyed anyway.

they should stop calling them special and start calling them mundane!

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

We've all known for a long time that TG has been going down hill, but up until now the specials have actually been pretty good. Sadly, after watching the Indian trip last night, I feel the BBC should give us our money back.

Utter, utter tripe. Yes, we know the jokes are all scripted, but seriously, this was the worst I have ever seen. We didn't even get to see any parts of India, like you would on a normal special.

Same old cock jokes from very, very wooden actors. Oh look, the signs have ripped in half and now say 'sh!t' and 'muff', hilarious - never saw that one coming.

The whole thing was painfully drawn out. Even an hour would have been too long for the actual content they had.

Lastly, why did they keep referring to places in India by their old names? Mumabi hasn't been Bombay for a long time now?
