Cheers Pm,

John
Fast enough to get you into trouble, after all they do weigh in at nearly 2 tons, but they do handle amazingly well,
(to impress Clarkson they must be good)

BTW
Did anyone see the old footage of him getting eggs thrown all over him at some Graduation he was at a while back?

As I said Jules he did like it.
If it had got that extra Power he Likes we would have heard a lot more good things about it and indeed he may well have got one by his own indications.
Don't get me wrong, I would have one tomorrow if I could afford the Fuel.

I think for a balanced view does anybody have a video clip of this, purely contextual mind you I would not take any pleasure from it.

About 18 months ago I was told by a Rover/MG dealer in the UK that they had recently sold Clarkson's MG ZT 260 with about 75K miles on the clock. Maybe on loan and no way to verify the story, but on the face of it looks like he did like it enough to run one, and for quite a while.

I know i'm too late but i think this episode was repeated an channel Dave on Friday night. I sky +'d it so i will check

That will be much better quality than youtub.

The new Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) is going to have downloadable Top Gear Episodes. I hope the 260 ep is one of them

. They are also modelling the Top Gear Test track to blast around!

Shame that the actual ZT260 wont be in the game... I could have ruined some virtual tyres rather than my own! haha
