Finally just got round to watching part 2 of the Patagonia special (bit of a shit ending btw) and those three cars were REALLY fucked Chris. 
Before they were damaged by vandalism, they'd already been ruined by off-roading them and turning two of them into sodding pick-ups.
Bloody shameful way to treat such motors.
Should have bought shitters if they were just going to take them to some third-world toilet and destroy them.  
Anyone know if they were ever recovered?
Pretty sure he was on about the M6, Bentley and Datsun from the most recent episode.

I know Dean.
I probably should have put 'THOSE' instead of 'those' to make it a bit clearer.
My point being that the cars from the Chrimbo episodes were significantly more fucked than these three.

There is an article on the supercarkids site about the bentley. It was the best after it all but required a full strip down and repaint. The under side is damaged and now worth about 50% of what it was worth

Pointless article. 'tv show that borrows car gets it a bit ruined' shock horror. Also, Top Gear, Bentley, The Outback. Not exactly going to come back in pristine condition.

I just view all new cars as £300-£500 a month, to Bentley, Bmw and nissan i guess its worth it for them to supply a car to abuse.
Think how many millions they spend on advertising.

Car companies get massive exposure from shows like Top Gear. Like fuck they care about a damaged car they just write it off as an advertising expence.
It's a lot cheaper than a prime time advertisement on itv.

What sort of group test is that?
Or are they the only cars they could get hold of?

Something to do with more than 4 cylinders i think.
Is that a V6, V8 and is the BMW a V10? (i'm not sure)
