yes, my housemate can attest to this, when i saw that, i jumped up and down shouting no no no no no!

I think some of you take it too seriously.
I hate the show personally BUT I wont miss a chance to see a Defender on tv/video/etc....
AND there was plenty of the Defender!!

There seems to be a neutral product placement as I never heard any mention of "Landie" "Land Rover" only ref I heard was to "vehicle"

So did I.

I actually expected to see the towball go through the car window, not the car front ripped off.

Would have been a much better lesson to all concerned if they had shown what can actually happen when you use the ball.

ok ok you know what its winning me over!! some of the bits I missed

pulling car out of sand..
"all thats needed is some diesel power"
and the mighty Defender ripped not just the bumper but the whole front end...

What was the red/orange light in the instrument panel?

Also, it's obvious Defender hand brakes don't work!
