Just watched Jeremy's new DVD, Hot Metal. I thought after reading about it on the net that it would feature some RV8 engined TVR's. Unfortunatly the piece about the RV8 TVR's is only about 10 seconds with only a 420. And the most desirable of them all, the Mclaren F1, isn't compared to any of the newer ones. I would have love to see it on the track against a Zonda, Porsche Carrera GT, or the Mercedes.

Anyway, great gift for under the christmas tree.

I didn't mean to put a 420 down, I only hoped to see a Griffith and maybe a Chimaera.

How much shooting or playing darts with cars is there in the vid? Or is it actually about cars?

I bought this a while back, I've already enjoyed watching it, but now have no DVD to look forward to watching after Crimbo.

There's a smal bit where Jeremy shoots at different cars with a Spass 12 riot gun, gpmg, and antitank rocket, this lasts about 4 minutes. The rest is definatly about cars.

Ahh that would be the 84mm Karl Gustav Anti-Tank.. and having fired a few, there is no way that was Clarkson who fired that one
