Do you think they knew that the music at the sink scene was from titanic? (Full marks for that one)

Also as the G4 was on the other side of the pond, do you think they had successfully got through, perhaps there was a hidden "shelf", still a cock up though.

Just as likely that the G4 went around the side - the shots were very tightly framed and there could easily have been a gravel track behind the bushes. The bombhole on Strata can be made to look as bad if you pick your camera angle carefully to avoid showing the track around the side of it.

I take it they'll be putting a Lada Niva in there next, or would showing that any 4x4 (even ones made in Mother Russia) driven by a muppet will sink in deep water go against their editorial line?  :twisted:

they probably just ordered another one so some thieving chav can half inch someones pride and joy from their driveway then put it in a shipping container and send it over there and put some other plates on it,I worked with a russian guy here his mum married a swede hes in his mid 20s and he was telling me about his friend still in russia who is a policeman in st petersburg,who can get any car or truck with all the legal documentation so its totally legal it doesnt matter where the cars come from,stolen scrapped etc left right hand drive etc, its quite scary really thats probably where most of the stolen motors end up,cheers,don
