Well that would pretty much tie in with the Sprinter drivers' dedicated section in the Highway Code, any chance of a screen dump please? The USB on my myth box has gone awol or I'd take one myself, if the alleged doughnut eating really happened.

What were they thinking of when they chose the paint colour for the MG?????

Auction results for all of the cars featured in the show are shown there or you could wait as next Sunday is the episode that shows them going through.
