I did not see the youtube clip, but I did watch the original programme. As always, it was entertaining in a puerile way. Whilst you can easily offend sections of any society (and Clarkson has built a career on this) there was one bit that I though could only happen in the USA. Apparently, after giving away one of the cars through a charity once they arrived in New Orleans, they were approached by a lawyer complaining that the car they had represented as being a 1991 model was in fact a 1989 model and threatening to sue them for misrepresentation unless they paid $10000. Only in America! (unless Clarkson made it up).
