Million Dollar American Princesses. The marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt to The Duke Of Marlborough! A thoroughly despicable man! All he was after was $2.6 million in Railroad stocks, around $100 million today. America literally saved the monarchy, which was utterly bankrupt, and who's grand castles were rotting away!

As predicted, they found absolutely nothing and got really, really excited about it.
What a terrible show.
I can't wait for next season.

Think Downton Abbey... The Earl was broke till his American wife came along.... carrying bags o' caish! I visited the Vanderbilt Estate... at one point they were the richest family in the world. By the 1930's they were almost flat broke. Sold the mansion in Hyde Park to the feds to get it off their hands. Pops knew how to make money, kids only knew how to spend it.

Looking at that 3-D model they got from the sonar readings, I just kept thinking that I've played that level in Soul Reaver.

Those clowns are killing me though. They spend all that money to strap a camera to a diver to send to the bottom of the hole to try and get pictures, but have to abort when the divers get scared. Here's an idea...tie the camera to a stick and run it down the hole. Sticks are rarely afraid of anything.
Top Gear. I think they are right, the 71 Mach 1 was a waist of sheet metal! I finally remember why I did not buy the 70 Shelby GT350 with a factory Paxton supercharger for $5,000, it was so ugly with that stretched out nose! Kind of like Jimmy Durante. If only I could have found a 67 GT500 for that price.

I agree that the Mach 1 wasn't exactly a good version of the Mustang, and the one Hamster drove in the episode had certainly seen better days, but for some reason it started growing on me as I was watching the show. [huh] I realize it's a point of pride with those guys, but if I was having all of the problems Richard's having with that car I think I'd throw in the towel and drive the Citroen 2CV the rest of the trip. lol

I think they are wrong.
You and I both.
They could have gotten much worse---a 1974 to 1979 Mustang of instance. They were REALLY junk.

That was a waste of energy and thought---or no thought in that case.
Ford's thought: Let's ruin this motor company.

You would have loved the 71 on Top Gear! It was in your favorite color, GREEN!
They did that before with the Pinto and the Edsel
I always feel sorry for Edsel Ford, he was a man of impeccable taste, Beautiful house, cars and even boats and yet, he will for ever more, be remembered for a car, he had no hand in designing!
Nazi Mega Weapons: The Wolves Lair. Interesting, since they showed his first bunker. Also watched Rehab Addict! Sad to see the beautiful homes in Detroit going down hill. They need to take a lesson from Madison, when they lost all their manufacturing in the early 70s, but made a come back!
