The Moke Drop looked just like the Mini Drop that May did in James May's 20th Century. He dropped a Mini - not quite as high - onto a pane of toughened glass, the kind used on skyscrapers, to show just how tough the glass is. The Mini bounced exactly the same way. I wonder if someone will now say that they're just copying the UK version of the show by dropping the Moke..? :P :roll:

Not a bad first effort. It was no Polar Challenge or Botswana but it was certainly watchable. :) That said, I did only just watch it in the last hour. :lol:

forgot it was on and only noticed at 7.55, so we saw the last 35 mins or so.

Much better, still needs to improve but so much better already I think they've taken note of alot of the criticism, after all it's not like they set out to make a bad show.

Even my wife noted that it was better that they just introduced the Stig in the Lambo without doing the "Some Say..."

I think it still sucks [email protected] of them have got much personality or charisma and it all still seems forced and desperate.

A vast improvement on Series 1, so much so that the wife and I even watched until the end without cringing in embarrasment . There's still a way to go until it reaches the same slick performance as their British counterparts; but let's give credit to the producers for listening to their critics and making the changes they did.
