I still find it awkward that they are still using completely British lingo and idioms in foreign countries with a global show that could be very confusing to audiences like when in front of a Finnish audience, they launched into the bit with the Double Decker and Flake bars (UK exclusive chocolate bars) and with the Jumpers, etc. I guess that's part of their charm? It skirts dangerously close to the audience not getting their jokes.
I really enjoyed the Mustang and GT40/Ferrari segments. That's the type of stuff that made me love Top Gear. The rest was boring.
