I did watch them, just didn't take notice of the garage.

Who keeps a car in a garage?
The garage is for all the bits you need to work on when the weather changes and you need to be in the dry.
Cars don't mind the rain

Convertibles? Rare commodity here (although an old friend just got an Audi)
We are a nation of estate cars and hatchbacks. Cars work for a living.
WHEN I get my Fiat 500 back it has bales of hay and sacks of bran to fetch and a trip to the supermarket.
This 'Spark' hire car is useless for any of that. It isn't even designed to take old ladies to lunch- nowhere for the walker to go.
Snow..... no.. no.. I don't do snow

OMG!
Have you seen the price they are going for on eBay? There is one running for another 4 days already at $5600 and not met reserve.
$10,000 for a Barracuda. The first trip I took to visit my Uncle took me to a Civil war museum in the one he owned (in green) to get him to the train station in the mornings. We put the picnic in the trunk and it fell through the floor!

Have you been to Bermuda?
Everything is in miniature there it is really weird after flying into the US for a few days to see family then flying onto see friends in Bermuda- it's as if we had fallen down the rabbit hole with Alice.
Renault 4 are the French farmers truck. I've seen sheep in one before now on our way to Le Mans.
