I saw the title and thought it'd be James building a Tamiya model, in real time.

Neat special, but wow that's weird they chose to do it live. I'm not sure it really added anything to have it all done live, other than the fun of watching James mangle bolts on some poor soul's Mini Cooper hatch.

The other two hosts didn't seem to be adding much and the good parts were the pre-recorded James May segments.

James May + Anything Cars = Will Watch. I agree that the choice to do it live was strange, but it was still great. The how it's made episodes on car making are interesting but they don't have time to go into detail. This has made me want to learn how to program industrial robots however, I love the complexity of the jigs and fixturing they use in assembly.

You know how a dog behind a chain link fence will bark and snarl at you until you finish walking past, and then, having successfully defended his property and driven you off, he sort of snorts in satisfaction at a job well done?

What about all those posters they could be putting up telling people how it's illegal to call them the Falklands? They could be doing that.

Didn't the original judge basically say "They did something illegal but due to mitigating circumstances (e.g. the lynch mob) we see no reason to prosecute them"?

If you want to talk about bad taste, I think Argentina has shown themselves to be just as ridiculous as Top Gear - except one is a humorous car show and one is, you know, an actual country.
