      In my opinion it would be good for every driver to know the blindspot’s a lorry has. It would prevent a lot of accidents. I think it should be mandatory on the drivers test. If you want to learn the blindspots you can take a seat in a lorry and see for yourself. I highly advise. 👍🏻

    2: 500k miles is pretty amazing, and that 1.9tdi has so many perfectly running high milers. Something about that engine is just generally... strong
    3: I'd love to see a high mileage hero series, and maybe in the future, a buying challenge where all three guys buy/research their own cars, then compete against each other. Very Top Gear, but this format is just perfect for that.
