Default Top Gear 8pm

Just a reminder it was on at all sorts of times during the footie but now its back to its rightful slot...

Clarkson puts the new Ford GTand electric/petrol hybrid Toyota Prius through their paces and Hammond talks about Rovers V8 engine. Martin Clunes is teh Star in a Reasonably priced car...


enjoy x

I watched it, that GT40 is some motor. I couldn't believe the acceleration of it!

If i heard Clarkson right, he said he's getting one of the limited amount of the GT's being made.

Yup Clarkson is getting one after bigging them up constantly on Top Gear at every opportunity he could.

Fuel consumption takes the p*ss though... 4MPG gunning it & only something like 16 MPG driving it sensibly.
Car only has a 15 gallon fuel tank too!
