I do watch the show, but that's because the typical British humor is going rampant in it and i usually roll on the floor laughing in about 10 minutes
i don't have a big car, only a small and quite rickety one; but it's primarly used to transport live fish and when there's snow and ice everywhere and my favorite form of transport (chopper) is too dangerous

but it's very very European. and also very British.
if it wasn't for a life long addiction with things Monty Python and similar stuff (something Marc rubbed off on me, blame him!) I wouldn't get it at all, not being British
