they mentioned it at the end of last weeks show and seemed quite impressed at what they had done to it. (and sounds like it survived better than expected.)

If they slate the Hilux we will all have to email the show tonight and let them know how wrong they are.....

[Phil H]

well I sent them an email and mentioned a recent show where Mr Clarkson got his cruiser bogged. Hope that provokes a mention. Did the email address I posted come out?

It didn't on my view so here goes again.

Just to make it clear it is a Toyota Hilux pick up they are gonna try and wreck,and not our beloved Surf.

Top gear is sh**e any way, they are obssessed in trying out cars that are beyond the average persons reach. New BMW 5 series etc They should come down to earth a bit and review cars that people may actually be thinking of buying instead of thrashing a car round a track then talking about it for 20 mins ! Shows like Nob Gear instill and increase the fetish we have in this country for new cars, If you look at other countries they buy cars that they like and run em till they die, Who gives a sh*t if the cars 10 years old ? Mine is and it will still be here in another 10 years !!!

"Just to make it clear it is a Toyota Hilux pick up they are gonna try and wreck,and not our beloved Surf."

It's also a 1989 model with a non-electronic engine. A Surf the same age would hold up just as well but indestructability and lightning-quick repairs ceased to be factory-fitted options around this time.

I could be drummed out of Luton for watching Top Gear. They have Jeremy Clarkson dart boards and toilet paper in the Vauxhall and IBC plants.
