I looked it up. It was a gag they did for their show during the Covid lockdown. They were originally planning on driving the cars through a tour of France, but with the lockdown they couldn't leave the country. The gag was that they were trying to sneak the cars into France, by launching them over the channel. In reality they were launching the cars across a field, and I think the shed was a deliberate target for fun. It looks cheaply and quickly made.
The shed didn't look cheaply made imo, I think they found a possibly abandoned property and obtained permission to demolish the shed out back.@@johnjones_1501
Meanwhile the man who just got done remodeling the inside of that shed and witnessing its destruction is sitting on his porch thinking, "bit of odd weather innit?"
Had some neighbours that lived on the corner of a cul de sac that led off a road with 40mph speed limits, right after a blind corner. Three times as I was growing up, they had cars end up in the living room, twice their front lawn. They ended up putting solid steel posts in their junipers, which three cars have ended up crashing into since then.
