ALBANIA : BBC TV's "Top Gear" Describes It As A Nation Of Mafia Car Thieves.

GUARDIAN/

     The BBC TV's "Top Gear" team is at it again...
bad-mouthing a nation.
    But now it's Albania's turn even after the recent diplomatic uproar over ethnic slurs about Mexicans.
    Host Jeremy Clarkson and his two co-presenters joked that Albania is full of mafia car thieves in a program filmed there.
     "Apparently, what happens is Albanians go to England, get a job, buy a car and then bring it back with them," Clarkson said.
      "And it is quite traditional when you bring a car back like that, that you drive it around with the door locks pulled out and sometimes little marks along the back of the door," added Richard Hammond.
