Default Trying to find Clarkson vid, anyone help?

Well 2 actually, the first Im sure alot of you have seen. The one where he does the history of hot hatches and ends on the escort cos, he drives it around a very winding road (I think its called soemthing like buttertubs or cups pass or soemething!)

The other one is I think a topgear when the escort cos is discontinued and he drives it to a grave yard (If I remember rightly)

Thanks guys and gals!

Mat.

The first one is from Clarksons car years and was on earlier today on sky.
Only caught the end...

The second is an episode from Topgear from around the late 90's when they finished the escos off.

I'd be interested in seeing em too.

J,

I watched Clarksons Car Years today, it was on about the history of supercars, and not hot hatches. That was the reason I created this post.

I've got a VHS here of the apparent first outting of the Escos rally car on the start of the lombard - driven by Roger Clark IIRC. Was a top gear rally report special thingy.

Would get it up on here but haven't got a video player to transfer it accross then up load it
