Top Gear Series 22

[HD Adam]

They pass the IVA test so regarding safety, everything is ok there.

As said previously, Ford would sell a fairly small amount of these as you are getting into dropside Transit territory for business so to go through all the E marking and rhd malarkey would probably be cost prohibitive for the numbers sold.

If there was still a tax advantage to running one as a company car you might be ok but that's gone now and the grey importers do a fine job for those who really want one.

Iva is nothing like as stringent as homologation.

Guess the Nissan LS200 Warrior or any of the other variants they make is so darn good

Those full sized pickups are all mouth and no trousers.

Interesting viewpoint.

In what way?

It's been a while, but I've used them. They're st.

Look at the website of them ALL. They give it the work vehicle big 'un, bouncing over rocks, being loaded with logs in a quarry by a pay loader etc. They stick a 400 horse engine in them and give it the haulage big 'un, but can't stop the fking trailer they have the power to pull. Then they will struggle to keep cool when you are asking all 400 horses to put a shift in.

They are utility vehicles and nothing more.

Never had a problem with any of mine in >100,000 miles. F150/250/350's. Maybe it's just you?

That Jag

[RobinBanks]

Does anyone know the cost of that ceramic brake option?

[KTF]

Why would you look behind you at a right angle junction?

[djdest]

He said oblique angle

Then did a demo using a 90 degree one...

They've really upped the game with their cinematography this series. There is some really gorgeous camera work and production.

[anonymous-user]

I really wanted to like the F-type, but I just can't.

Too shouty, not enough luggage space, not special enough in the flesh.

Shame!

[KTF]

They should stick the classic Jag and the Toyota into a wall at 30mph and see which one 'wins'

[poing]

How is the gt86 in any way a comparison? Now Jeremy, go find something of a similar price, or in fact just do the same again against the F-type. I love the Eagle and it didn't need that silly drag race.

I'm thinking the opposite and that they need to sack the cameramen.

Such a beautiful car!

[ambuletz]

Can you imagine calling autoglass coming over to fix a chip?

[SydneyBridge]

Loveliest sun visors I have ever seen

It's fine, it's only £70 on your insurance excess for a new screen.

[Japveesix]

The Eagle still looks really lovely but I thought it sounded it bit st really, kinda annoying and buzzy
