It was a nice tongue-in-cheek homage to all the cheezy 80's shows I watched religiously growing up, (Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., Simon & Simon, The A-Team, etc.). I also liked the slight resurection of Asia's "Heat of the Moment".

Taking it for what it was, (a parody), it was well done.

Is a Mexican accent implied in this statement?

I'm highly offended that you're not offended or wait... I think I may be not bothered at all by your unoffendedness & you know that they say a good offense is the best defense or to put it simply I am highly unoffended that you feel the same way as me

I'm not offended. I am able to laugh at myself and do not feel that the Hammer character is an attempt to make fun of my big hair and mustache.

I had to find out what this was all about sooo, I just watched all six episodes back to back. I'm totally Hammered now, even if he is a bit of a doofus. I got so emotionally involved I actually had goosebumps at the end of episode six.

I am utterly unoffended. In fact, I'm not even mildly affronted.

This might be a secret weapon to make hammer and coop more noticed in the MINI crowd....
Does anyone know if the one who started works on the inside...hehe

I liked:
- the little banters between Hammer and Coop.
- the driving....they even went a little TIJ on us there.
- the rather obvious mention of R56 features.

All in all it was fun...and I was given a lunchbox!!!

(note...didn't Hammer lose his memory? Did they resolve that? Maybe I missed it.)
