If anything, Hammond was making it harder for himself, because not only was the car more aerodynamic, if any radioactive dust got in, it would've been trapped because he sealed off some possible escape routes for the air, but still, he made it work. Also in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "Richard Hammond may be stupid and a rampant racist, but he's quite practical."

You made me laugh with your stupidest comment. As far as I remember, only everyone tried to capture Russia. And you, these 7, now 8 years, have been bombing Donetsk and Lugansk and blaming everything on Russia, you should be ashamed, it’s not good at all, unfortunately, you, as children, have to explain this. Bow further to your Nazi groups like Azov and Bandera (one of the greatest Nazis of all time, who killed a lot of people, opposed the Bolsheviks), everything is clear with you that you say this, your head is not for thinking, like many ukrainians.

When I was a kid I saw some cartoons and very vintage inspired adventure books from no later than the 1930s and before that and they took place in areas like Russia Britain, Germany, China Africa, and so on. Knowing what would happen with the world wars it kind of made me think “ realistically, what would happen to some of those people just a few decades later or even less”? Some of these Top Gear episodes are kind of similar to that.
