So…having just watched the repeat of Sunday’s show. The ‘shootout’ was on an Army training ground, but at which disused aviation place was the Boxter v SLK slingabout filmed ?
Looked pretty derelict and completely vandalised to me.

Inititially, I thought it was Watton, which is very close to the FIBUA village shown, but I’m not so sure as it looked at bit big.

I suspect the Welsh Rally lad would prefer to be called Gwyndaf Evans rather than Gwen.

The original Stig was Perry McCarthy. I’ve no idea who the current one is.

Has to be UP the road as it’s just about all uphill from Chipping Norton to Enstone.

Oh up the road down the road and sideways if you like…it’s all good fun πŸ™‚
Opinionated he may be but Clarkson (and team) are one hell of a hoot !
