If you didn't see Top Gear last night, try to catch the rerun. Clarkson's Fiesta road test features a piece where he's being chased by a black C6...around Festival Place shopping centre in Basingstoke! Must give it a try smile

Yes indeed! Way to get the shopping done!

Mate of mine has a download of all the out-takes and there was one of these, very heavily pimped, being thrashed around the place as well. Merc was really blinged-up - lowered, big chrome wheels, lots of extras - and the windows so tinted the driver couldn't be recognised. But we have our suspicions.....

Cheers for that. I now know how the skid marks got on the marble floors that I was puzzling over the other day. TG's insurance premium must be bloody high ?

That was hilarious!

Made Sciencebird want us to get a black C6 now, although I've looked and I don't think it'll fit under our tree...

Cliffy - link for Topgear

VHR - thanks - I tried the bigger tree thing, but unlike Dobbie Towers we have normal height ceiling - now I've got to replaster the ceiling before Christmas, and I've been banned from a C6 for the time being as apparently it was 'naughty to try and fit a 26 ft tree into the living room'

(By the way that Veritas thing on TG was rubbish)
