Finally watched part 2 last night, having been abroad for 10 days.
Bloody brilliant, best episode of TopGear in ages, had me chuckling most of the way through. Seems a shame to have destroyed those cars, which I noticed they didn't mention the price of (it wasn't a V8-for-under-£5k challenge, or anything), but it was very good nontheless. I also thought the ending was portrayed fairly and accurately, and found it quite amusing that after all Jeremy's talk, he just sat in a hotel while some poor bugger had to drive the car that was the target of the attack.
Mob violence is terrifying, because it's been proven time and time again that the vast majority of the population are susceptible to it. Not just politically motivated people, not just men, not just violent people, not people from any particular religion or group, not any particular nationality. Almost ALL of us. People at a legitimate protest chuck some eggs, some blokes chuck rocks, everyone gets swept up in the herd mentality and joins in. Before you know it people's lives are at risk, it's horrible and I bet a lot of the people involved regret their actions with hindsight.
But yeah, I thought it was very good. Good work, Beeb.
