Martin -
My fave is when the beat the living snot out of a Toyota Hilux truck (hit it with a wrecking ball, drown it in the sea, drop a caravan on it, and set it afire) and it still runs... so they put it on top of a 22 story building which they then demo.
They exhume the truck from the debris, and....
Well, google Toyota Hilux and Top Gear. The video(s) (it's divided between 2 episodes) are great.... if you can find them nowadays.
I'll keep looking for you.... you've gotta see it to believe it.
