Was it another pointless top gear exercise.....or was it just a bit of a laugh ??
Little terios seemed a bit of a laugh to have a go in..... T.Chip, 19's, Parrot, Twin pipes, lampguards, K&N, DVD.....and a few bits on order - no jet boil needed

That thing was fooking amazing. Sounded like a jet fighter going past the tyre wall

True or not , the possibility that the sat nav can tell the car to switch the speed limiter off, because the GPS found itself at a race track was very neat. Silver TDV6 S with sat nav, PTI and Moosed up a bit

That GTR was awesome 
I have to say that the Terios has a great little rumble from its exhaust  ...and it wasn't that bad off-road too  Powered by............................

JC was an a**e in the Terios quite frankly - the bobblies will have a field day with his antics 
oh and the camera car was a black 90 Defender with a load of iron work supporting the camera - as the aerial camera panned back in the very last shot of JC stuck in the hole at the end, the cam car came into view for a couple of seconds.

But to have greenlaning compared with golf!!!
Loved the look of that GTR but, like Simon, can't afford one. Well could but would not have a kitchen, bathroom, garage rebuild, cinema room etc, etc, etc! Honda Dog U better DUCK!!!!!

I would'nt say interesting - I would say very worrying...one step away from not only Japan having this in place, but everywhere else as well (he says ducking to avoid the responses on speeding etc etc etc)

I'm not so sure that will make any difference. How many people will really know (or even want to know) that this was filmed on private land ? To be honest, I was cringing when watching it last night. Even if it was on prviate land, going through the forest like that and making an overt statment and camera shot when driving over flowers etc doesn't help anyone's argument. Didn't give the message of "responsible driving" when greenlaning. IMO. The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

I seem to remember that Duncan Barbour ( from Camel trophy fame) had a very special 90 with lots of iron work on it for TV & Film work. Its was quick enough to keep up with the James Bond Aston on some Alpine roads!
