Mark P Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 For those of our friends here who have the misfortune not to be able to Top Gear as soon as we here in the UK do, last night's edition included a classic piece from Jeremy Clarkson. After a viewer wrote to complain that they don't do 'normal' road tests any more Jeremy Clarkson did a piece on the new model Ford Fiesta, which included answers to several questions - one of which is viewable here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=StSZ383UCX4 Link to comment

Mark P Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 He had me in stitches when he actually drove down the LC ramp and basically submerged the thing !!! Hilarious !! Methinks the car must have had a little extra waterproofing for that! Clarkson is a staunch supporter of the British Armed Forces and Top Gear has now had a number of stunts like this one as the Ministry of Defence has obviously decided that it gets great recruiting advertising from the show! Other examples include the Lotus V Apache Helicopter and Range Rover Sport V Challenger II Tank. Link to comment
