Well, well, well ! What a surprise ! Jeremy Clarkson has just mentioned on BBC 'Top Gear' that he has been informed by Ford that he is one of the lucky b*****s who is getting a new GT. He also said that now he's getting one he doesn't have to be nice about Fords any more ! Apart from the GT that is.......... |

How about rubbing his nose in it?
Can we organise a number of tickets - I believe Simon had a source and all turn up in GT40 replicas?
If we spoke to any of the other presenters I'm sure they will oblige and get some showing on the TV. Especially if it will wind Clarkson up.
Can you imagine his face with say 10 40s sitting in a row and he's not got his new one?
Perhaps I'm just sh*t stirring!

Has anyone else realised that the values of MB SL 55 AMG collapsed once Clarkson took delivery of his - what does it say for the GT - better off out of it ! | |

I'd certainly take mine - but not so the idiots on the programme can trash the transmission and tyres like they did to th C-type Jaguar last year! It's recorded at Dunsfold isn't it?

Clarkson Damon Hill & Martin Brundle are on the list - does this make the application process sound like a close relative of Tony Blair's Peoples Peers - only his cronies got them regardless of who applied ? | |
