I'd forgotten this, a TG classic I think. Quite inspirational... Very Happy


Absolutely, some great Clarksonisms:

on the performance "is a bit like trying to move the moon out of orbit using the motor from a food blender" - bit harsh but funny! Laughing

on the kids radio controls in the rear "I love that, oh I'd REALLY love that...." Rolling Eyes

The D3 episode is excellent but for true inspiration it is topped by Sabine Schmidt in the Transit



Seeing that transit flying past superbikes is superb!

"hurry up please" as she blasts past the mondeo

"£%$^&* bike in my way....English ogre on a bike" as she overtakes it coming out a bend..... Laughing

Hammond "I'm glad it wasn't me...being overtaken by a van."

Top Gear - what TV was invented for! Thumbs Up Tony

Old thread resurrection time, does anyone on here have BX04CKN as used on Top Gear. It still shows as being in the road, MOT'd till December, Taxed till March and currently insured, no reason other than curiosity.
