That light means "Mike is emitting noxious fumes in cabin".

You guys crack me up with the attention to detail on viewing this show.

And what's with his joyful glee on every damn car he drives? Who whoops like that all the time?

I noticed in the episode they both made remarks eluding to it was a shame that this or that was changed from the OEM ... and then they didn't worry about the aftermarket radio, not putting the correct lights in BTW the rear lenses were incorrect as well... and as other have mentioned the stainless GB on the rear hatch and the proper placement of the numbered plaque.

Again the new format where they really don't show the work being done, just sort of skipping over it and hi-lighting only a few things being done.

But it is still one of the better shows.

I'm fascinated by their calling a motor car "motor", when in the U.S. we call it a car.
Mike's always going on about what a "fabulous motor" it is, but he doesn't mean the engine.

Using "motor" instead of car is an English slang term used mostly down south around the London area. Mike is originally from Brighton, about 60 miles south of London.

Good stuff.


I really enjoy all the various slang and dialect from all over, but the vernacular from Great Britain is of a special sort in a grand way methinks.

Look out for the jam sandwich ahead!
