Top Gear, UK did you see Clarkson in his GT?

Saw Top Gear tonight and the three guys drove 3 supercars through france, looks like Clarkson has got his back.... although it needed filling up all the time...........looked much better than the ferarri although i do like the Pagani Zonda..... but it only does 210mph... gt does 212...lol

Re: Top Gear, UK did you see Clarkson in his GT?

Yes, fortunately I remembered to watch TG last night. I am very pleased to see Jeremy has bought it back again - after all the reason seemed to be with the alarm system not the basic car. He gives great publicity.
Part of the show's format is for them to rib each other (e.g. Hamster's teeth!) and the thirsty nature of the GT is becoming an annoying one of these!
I am glad to see they also have problems getting out of car parks - not that I have taken mine into a multi-storey but I still can't drive forward off my drive!!
I think their various discussions were intersting and generally I agreed with them. The Ferrari is rather ordinary to look, the GT just oozes style, the Zonda is just mad (in the Lamborghini mould).
As for the sound I genuinely prefer the Zonda and GT not the Ferrari.
