I can recall many moons ago that even I used to watch this when OH was out. It covered items of interest to the viewer - best family car on market, how to buy a secondhand car - what to look for, average sports car etc. and motor bikes.

OH stopped watching years ago. Why would BBC pay ridiculous sums of money for 3 men to play with cars and do all sorts of daft stunts and jaunts - motor bikes have disappeared.

It is a waste of time and money and what about all that damage to the environment?

JC was /is an extremely well paid car dismantler toward the end

The other progamme that those three are doing in the same vein is as yet untitled.
They are just as destructive and couldn't drive on UK roads like that.
But no doubt they are more entertaining than their replacement, Evans
