OUCHHH!!! I think a car cleaner got a touch of the Nigel Mansells! Reminds me of an electrician doing a bit of work on his boss`s car at work, a brand new Carrera 4. He got out of the car after about an hour . As he stepped out, he saw to his horror, all the leather on the £1000 drivers seat was ripped to shreds! He turned his head around and noticed the insulated screwdriver pointing out of his back pocket!!!

ARRRGGHH!!!!

Reviving another old thread!!

Best Top Gear 'race' was Bugatti Veyron Vs Eurofighter Typhoon last year - Bugatti had to do 1 mile along runway then back before Typhoon did a mile vertical and back (both from standing start on runway) - RAF won by about 1/2 mile. Pretty awesome.

Trying to get a "lock"... what are they locking? The FCR? No point in designating a target that close, let alone FCR lock. Stunt... which is all it was... Not Americans and still shooting their allies... Bwah Bwah Bwah... British humor I guess.

Top Gear is one faked stunt after another. It's still entertaining as heck, but people who thing their bits are "real", well, I've got a bridge for sale they should look into.

They've done a few military races in the past; the other famous ones have been:-

Sea Harrier v Car in a lap of the track.
Challenger II Tank v Range Rover Sport
Army Mobile Hunter Team v 4x4 (being shot at - live rounds)
Army Platoon v Porsche and Corvette Convertables (being shot at - blanks to see which one you would get shot most in)

Although the boat cars were the best!
