How long after Top Gear filming is it on tv....might be bad
news for RS500.....................
I've heard something today that Top Gear got hold of an RS500 and destroyed it on the track, completely apparently and then they weighed it in for scrap. I hope this is not true but only time will tell.
Cheers

They didn't destroy it on purpose did they 
Being the 20th Anniversary of the Sierra Cosworth next year, they may have got a feature sorted or something and the stig got a bit over-enthusiastic.
If they did it on purpose in one of their stunts.... I'm not watching TG ever again

I heard that its sortof true. And this is the story Ive heard:
[quote]They raced a RS500 3 door racing version against a 2005 Focus touring car. But it had an oil leak and a fire. Which took a long time to get the fire engine to as it was a long way away from the main buildings. The driver had a small extinguishear in the car but it was not enough. Car is salvageable though, only an engine bay fire, so it will be OK in the future. The owner is dealing with Top Gears Solicitors about payment for damages[quote/]

Is it just me or does anyone else think it's gone seriously down hill anyway?
I think the old style TopGear (5th Gear) is much better, the BBC one is just an EGOtrip for Clarkson, and his two Homo Fags, it has very little relivance to normal joe public...
Wouldn't suprise me in the slightest if they have done that to a Cossy

Sorry Nat, But I've got about 50 Firefighters allready begging me to come along! I was lucky as a guy who I used to go to school with years ago now runs a Private Rescue company, and loved my qualifications, and I'm doing my RTA Instructors course soon so I can teach people about all this stuff too!, But if I can't get any available firefighters, of the 50+ I have that want to come, I'll bear you in mind!lol.
I'm well chuffed just to be going myself! New series starts filming in the Autumn.
