I expect the Isetta and Morgan owners, having been envolved before, refused to play the game. As I predicted the Reliant Owners were made to look like Northern Numbties to fit the scripts steriotypical approach to an item that could have been an interesting and learning experience. All we really learned is that ignorance is to be promoted as entertainement as if the idea was to have rolling Reliants I could think of some far more interesting situations to do it. TG is becomming rather lazy in its scripting and I think its sell by date approaches. Interesting to see if they realise and react or continue to churn out stuff and collect the money.

I used to be an avid fan of TG but after their presenters split, it all went down hill. 5th Gear has the better format, though I wish I could find the episode of TG that slated the P50 as the un-coolest car ever made, as they really are a bunch of puppets who will say anything if they're told to..

Have you heard of the great Clarkson scam.

It is said that three influential motoring journalists hatched a plan to create the ultimate characterture (sorry cannot spell that one) of the bad Motoring Journalist. They hired an actor to play him and called him Jeremy Clarkson. However it was an invention that quickly ran out of control as it struck a nerve with the public. The actor realised he was onto the gravy train and we see the results today. Truth or fiction? Find some early Clarkson before he was on telly and see.
