      Can’t watch but the thumbnail showing the car biffing it after losing a front wheel tells me that Robin wasn’t very reliant. Then again, it’s Top Gear. That might have been one of the guys’ fault. 🤔

        TV magic:

        The Robin used by Jeremy Clarkson, the Stig and Ken Block had the differential modified to allow the car to roll over more easily. The car also had unequal sized wheels fitted creating an imbalance toward the driver’s side.

        Iirc the top gear one was rolled on purpose, but they didn’t have to try very hard.
