[QUOTE=Alessan] They also tried to to destroy a Toyota pickup truck, once. Rammed it into walls, ran it through buildings, dropped a trailer on it, hit it with a wrecking ball, set it on fire, dropped it from a crane, let the tides carry it out to sea, and put it on the roof of a 40-story building, which was then demolished by explosives. They failed. At the end of all that, it still ran. [/QUOTE] Yeah, but taking another one, and using it for the basis of an amphib car, and _capsizing_ it did kill that truck. 😃 Damnit, beaten by **Pushkin**. ---

[QUOTE=yojimbo] No. They aren’t beeped. At the time Top Gear goes out basically only “cunt” would be bleeped. Later on even that would be allowed. [/QUOTE] As **Pushkin** pointed out, it’s pre-watershed, and they have to be more restrictive than that. I have seen the occassional bleep, mostly things said involuntarily while driving, with the scripted stuff being more careful/inventive.
