I love top gear but it does hurt to watch. On a plus they took out the engine when they dropped it.

OK, maybe they are not completely dumb. Had to go back and look at the engine on the drop. You are right Darren. Missed that first time... must have been closing my eyes.

Similar but quite entertaining...
I remember watching this episode a while back:

Jeremy tries to kill a Toyota:

Part 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrk6vsb77xk&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=793CABDF042A9514

Part 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Uc4Ksz3nHM&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=793CABDF042A9514

Part 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfZDtC9kjVk&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=793CABDF042A9514

Quite an impressive truck!

I think what you guys are all missing is the veiled respect he gives to old 911's for their incredible durability, especially considering how old they are.

That video has been posted here 10-15 times in the past few years. Jeremy Clarkson is a funny man but he hates German cars. His show, Top Gear, is possibly the best television show ever.

Not any more. I never saw that before now. I mean, why destroy a set of H1's when he could have substituted sugar scoops. Totally stupid, I'm sorry.

Even he couldn't resist the Carrera GT.

Milt, you know as well as I do that in the end, it was just another old car. That car didn't look pristine in any way. My guess is it was a rusted out wreck about to go to the crusher.
