It wasn't that funny.
The entire thing was so obviously setup - from the "cars bought on the street" - which were actually bought at auction.. not from some murderers on the street.. I am confident there are also bad neighbourhoods in the UK - JC just chooses not to talk about them.
The stopping of the pickup truck in the water (anyone could see the practice skid marks
)
The setup with the folks at the store - another obvious one.
The sad part is how much they had to stage to get fit the stereotypes.
Typical Clarkson really. Seriously - if he dislikes the place so much, why does he keep coming back?
