General Topgear road test video

[doolahrock]

Sorry if I've got you all excited in the expectation of finding a video link

I have the episode with the B roadtest (alongside mx5 and mr2) which also has the B going onto the cool wall.

If there's any interest I shall try and edit the relevant parts together and post it on youtube.

Cheers

Jon

Shiny grey, dishwater grey, uninspiring grey, grey grey, light grey, bland grey, not very interesting grey - take your pick!!!

Oh oh, and my wheel arches are "DUST grey"!!!!

I've seen the road test, but where did the B end up on the cool wall?

Matt

Next to the DB7

 

[doolahrock]

Yup, it ended up on the cool wall. No arguments from Clarkson as Hammond suggested it. Straight up there.

Although one member of the audience tried to argue that it couldn't be on the cool wall because it's French:nutter:

Hammonds justification was that it had 'a shabby charm'. My wife agrees

 

[larkim]

Hammond reported in the mx5/mr2/b review that he used to own one too. Quite impressed by that.

Ref the "french" quote - http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Top_Gear#July_25th.2C_2004_.5B4.9.5D

What category was it on in the cool wall though? Presumably not sub-zero, just plain old cool?

Matt

 

[doolahrock]

Yeah, just cool.

I'd take 2 things to my desert island. Clarkson and a mallet. The big one you use for belting tent pegs with..The Item would meet Clarkson first thing every morning....
