Sorry if this has been mentioned before but ive just seen a video which has popped up on youtube showing Richard Hammond loading a Rover Mini in India for the 2011 christmas special. Has anyone got any other details about this?

Heres the video:

From what I have heard all 3 presenters are quite fond of Minis so I doubt any deliberate damage will come to it. Although it probably wont be treated with great respect if its got pallets strapped straight to the roof panel.

Anyone else notice the UK reg plate though. Its a long way from home!

Looking further on youtube theres a clip of presumably James driving a Jaguar XJS, Jeremy an old Rolls Royce and Richard in the Mini. Its probably going to be a 'British' theme Christmas special... actually cant wait! :D

No James is more of a Rolls Royce Fan, He used to own one of those Rolls Royces when he started presenting Top Gear
