I can understand why the vauxhall owners feel he is a cunt though, Even if the car was the best car ever made he would say it was shit.

vaxhall make good engines that tend to have loads of torque in comparison, but it all goes to waste as all you see is their fwd cars going straight when you turn the steering wheel
or when you put the power down

From memory the rumour had it that Clarkson's Escort was extensively hand built, so was a lot better put together than most other Escorts - can Dave shed any light on that?

If you want to see it, it will be on the Fast Ford stand at Ford Fair .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEm2diYA6BE

and continues in this..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyuFrCf8hFc

Im shure it used to be a sequence in that clip where he talks to the owner about buying it back but perhaps its been cut out?

You are correct. Clarkson asked him to name his price, the guy refused to sell it.

Dave,
its a 6deg beam Harvey does them and its well worth doing was able to dial out the understeer with it

Clarkson never owned the car as such it was always owned by Ford but they lent it to him for about 6 months if I remember correctly....I think he was writing for Car mag at the time
