Yes they cut about 20 mins from every show, its quite obvious in some places where its a poor cut. A lot of the banter is cut out and just leaves the reviews, i try and watch re-runs on BBC3 if i can as Dave's episodes are cut so much

would have been interesting to see the results if one of them had picked an omega for the saloon challenge.

150mph easy
plenty of change from £5000
loads of room for the oompah band
cant have been any less reliable for the AA type test than what they had.
AND made in Germany  ;D
