Not great quality but it's one I'd forgotten about. That one was actually a good advert for kit cars from TG!


Battering a Zonda round the track, then they still try and mock it. Even the fat plonker who couldn't fit in it even if he wanted to anyway. It just shows the total contrast in peoples attitudes towards kit/specialist cars. Total marmite I guess.

The other good one is this TG one

A louis barber 2cv 4x4 conversion car up against a defender. And it wasn't rigged on favour of the LR.

when clarkson wasn't reveiwing it!

If you take a look at some of the other 4x4 2cv vids on YouTube you will be amazed at how capable they really are.

Impressive.

It also reminds me that Kate Humble is tasty.

Seems like they were a lot less biased back in the day ...

I was trying to find the clip of when Chris Goffey drove the Minari, but I couldn't.

He quite liked that too - I think I still have that on VHS somewhere ...

Saw it on Top Gear. Rang the factory. On a ship down to New Zealand 3 weeks later.

Been loving it ever since
