Topgear is an entertainment show based around cars, I found tonight's episode hilarious, ok it's not test driving a Toyota GT86 on the road, but a normal road test won't show it's tail happy ;)

And yes I want one, but I think with a better engine :D

With a scooby badge on...


(Really can't believe they're not going to sell the new impreza over here, btw?! But then sales do seem to have been slow since they turned it into a hatchback)

TBH from what I have seen I am not impressed with the Toyota GT86. One was on track at the same time as me (@indigolemon was with me) and its arse was all over the place, it couldnt get out of the corners with any pace. Plus being fat and only 200bhp it was slow up the straights as well. By the end of the day the owner had span out and binned it into a tyre wall. I estimated a few grand to fix :lol:


Amy Macdonald looks a laugh though. I never heard of her before :?

Could be a jobby driver but the car displayed all the traits Clarkson was on about. I suppose a better driver could calm it down a bit.

I like Amy Macdonald. Been to see her in concert a couple of times.
I'm a big Paul Weller fan and he was raving about her a few years ago before having her as his support on tour and recording her album in his own studio.

Amy Macdonald would get it. As in would get my love letter telling her i think shes rather spiffing.

Clarksons face = Amazing when smiling.
