This show is absolutely brilliant!!!!

The end with them all holding their Porsche pipes and reviewing their cost analysis of crossing the Channel was classic!

"Its a 911 Porsche, hot bit goes at the back" LOL brilliant. I was amazed too they made it to that beach. I cant imagine the next challenge they'll make.

i think the great thing about the episode is that Hammond used HIS Carrera S and not a press car.
