US version of Top Gear, anyone?

Anything goes (within forum guidelines of course)

It wouldn't work. The British are the masters of self-deprecating humour. You wouldn't get a rise, maybe just a bemused smirk and a raised eyebrow.

On the other hand, you could play off the football rivalries, driving them through Swansea with a Cardiff flag in the back...

Hey! that might work too...
How about if we have the hosts drive thru London in an M1A1, announcing that they are there to annex the Isles and make them a territory of the USA?? :shock: :D
