      I can guarantee that won’t stop the Germans. Partly because it’s not mobile enough, but mostly because you built that in front of that border, (German border) and the Germans... is coming from that one (Belgium border).

      Scott Gregory May *does* have a music degree, correct, but he also taught Physics for several years before joining Top Gear; that *must* explain why he’s so good at calculations.
      (Proof; He had an interview on the news a while ago and he was asked about his job before Top Gear, Top Gear, and The Grand Tour).
      Hammond has an Art Degree and Clarkson, as you said, is a Dr. of Engineering!
