Cheeky. So the P45 is 10% smaller than the Peel P50... let's go and make a P40, then, eh? 
All I need to do to legally road-register an ATV for highway use in the UK is to give it a roof? I've got calls to make... that sounds like a spectacular business plan... |

the p45 is the document ref for the slip you get when you are made unemployed in the UK 
As for the "petrol in the bin" - classic setup for comedic effect.
It was a funny feature to begin with, but went on too long

About par for Top Gear. Some of the comedy segments just go on for too long. Still... there's not really much on the boobtube that's better.

I laughed, and still can't believe such a thing was made.
The clip didn't seem too long to me, but maybe because I have seen The Family Guy draw out every moment beyond absurdity. |
