i know you live oop north mate, but even sky shouldn't have problems getting you a signal

it's been on for years and years and, while some of the "engineering" that goes into these cars is somewhat "suspect", you can't deny that peole will have a look at it

ok so 99% will say "wtf is that " but it's all about getting piad for it

and, also, in case you wern't aware of it, discovery pay them to make the show so they have a budget of what discovery have paid them, plus whatever else they have going on behind the scenes, on the basis that there are no logo's shown, so other than the cars they do, they can't have any product placements in the show, cans of coke, toolboxes, even names on overalls are thoroughly checked before broadcast to stop them getting any extra cash in value

but yes, docrot Frankenstein would have been proud

They unveiled that black E36 Coupe BMW at Santa Pod (USC I think) and even covered it with a cloth so they could whip it off for the camera. When they did everyone laughed! For some reason they didn't show that bit on the telly!
