Spotted their web address platered across the front bumper of the Beetle as well....I've spoken to a couple of folk who've had the previous Yeti and they loved it.Not a looker from the outside,but when poking the fire do you pay attention to the mantlepiece?

Alright episode, but there are parts where you just think 'why,'
It is so much more about entertainment now than reviewing cars, The porsche article started off really well, but then the pointless destruction of a (Mexican) Beetle just seemed daft, as it has done in previous series when they crash morris minors or the like.

I agree Al. I fast forwarded large chunks that were just stupid. Why have firemen crawling through a yeti? Pointless!  :confused:

It's called entertainment. It would be a pretty boring show if they just drove round the track and then stood and spoke about the car.

I loved the Satnav Trace :signLOL:
