And you thought Top Gear was mean to that Porsche

After driving a diesel toyota work truck for years I am not suprised with the results.

I've got a hard drive full of Top Gear episodes and I've been looking for that particular HiLux torture episode.

Thanks!!

The US needs a show like that. All we get is cushy disguised advertising masquerading as 'automotive' shows.

Monster garage and junkyard wars are the only exceptions but they arn't quite the same.

The TG guys are smart enough to know that cars getting flogged and destroyed has entertainment value.

Speaking of such, did anyone ever see when monster garage took the chain gun to the project car?

Unbelievable.
Makes me think the old-style 4-Runner I rolled doing 60 would still move under its own power.
