Hi
That was great viewing. I kept wondering if the Beetle was getting through all tough terrain OK, seems it did. I didn't know they hated bugs, I will watch the show in a different light now. I often scoff at some of the Euro/pommie pieces of crap they rave about, like how great transit vans are, my work colleagues call tragics.

I think we're 12ish months behind the UK with the episodes we get here. I've also noticed that we seem to lose random parts of the news, cool wall & really inappropriate one liners on the Aus versions too.

ppfft a beetle would piss that water crossing in
if they still have half a floorpan left they tread water well
this was a mates 68 paddock basher till it was squashed up and burried
we drove it thro the creek and the water was up over the front tyres
got thro fine by the time we got out the otherside the water inside was up over the central tunnel LOL
what little brakes it had left were gone after that

SBS is showing S7, the series is in S10, up to episode 4 as of last week. Aparently some people flaunt the laws and download it from the dark side of the internet. At the end of S9, Clarkson was blogging about running out of ideas and getting stale ... I think S10 proves theres a few ks left in it.
Seen the one where they sail to France in a Herald, Nissan Navara and bolt on a prop to a T3 yet. Its so funny. The Caravelle is of course lightning quick!
