| Killing a Toyota Jeremy Clarkson puts Toyota's claim the their Hilux pick-up is virtually indestructible to the ultimate test. |

I'm given to hyperbole from time
to time, but this is not one of those times. If the BBC for some
reason yanked its Top Gear
archive from the American market, I'd move to Great Britain. So I
could watch it. This is from 2003 I believe. They do
something like this on every show. Imagine Noel Coward hosting a
car show. I love it.

They will have that truck on display in the studio for ages afterwards. I LOVE that show! Have you reached their road trip across the south yet? ;)
ReplyDeleteActually they did bring that truck back after Toyota built a truck and named it after this stunt (I forget the name)
ReplyDeleteNo to the US trip. I'm still on 2004, watching one episode a day (when I feel like braking things).
Is this the episode where they leave the truck, which they've tried to kill multiple times, out on the beach at low tide? "I'll be back..." should be the Toyota motto. They could not kill it...

The roadtrip from Miami to Nawlins is cute, but not their best work. My favorite roadtrip is the one from San Fran to the Bonneville Salt Flats where they max out the speed of their muscle cars.

You've got to watch James May's Road Trip for a treat. This week was the last episode of their California Men's Drinking Vacation. Don't worry, they destroy their Wine-abago.

Damn Casca I made a note to find that the last time and then forgot. Thanks for the remind.
