For those who missed it, or who don't understand iPlayer, here are some print screens and quotations from the piece.

Okay, they aren't real quotes.

Do they actually still make them in China or has production stopped now?

[Captain Slow]

I had a man in the Orient asking about for me but he never got back to me. I think they do; certainly the platform is still in use.

and i thought the standard maestro ride height was high!!

Go on then, to save me from watching Top Gear, on a scale of 1 to 10 just how sh*t did they think it was, where '1' is the faint whiff of a freshly-fertilzed field from quarter of a mile away and "10" is wallowing naked in dung at a sewage-plant with your face buried deep inside a used baby's nappy...

how much are they in china?

flight to china > buy a monstro > drive home?

who wants to come with me?

[Captain Slow]

No idea Steve - I'm in on the idea of the trip, though. But if you wanted to be boring you could buy a Monstro that looked like an Audi.

[Captain Slow]

Or a Subaru Forester.

[CPL593H]

now we just need sponsors, unless you are feeling rich Sam?

Why not talk to Philip?

The ERA do a "Peking to Paris Rally" you could fly out , by the car then do the rally on the way back.

So no-one gonna tell me what their verdict was then

[Captain Slow]

Not great, tbh. My version is far better.
