You can watch the bus explosion at the end of his new DVD trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRPzG22zDjA
Overall the DVD looks quite good. |

He sent a classic mini that was in perfect condition off a ski ramp with rockets up its backside, he never does show too much concern over history or collectable cars, just his style. I guess you have that choice when you are as loaded as him.

Yeah our top gear destroys modern cars like redlining a cold Lambo, goes bushbashing in a W427 etc...

Actually the w427 was driving on Holden's test track, not really bush bashing.... Anyway that DVD looks awesome! We probably won't get it here in Australia till some time next year I guess?

Atleast Clarkson immortilises them on film instead of them just dissappearing into obscurity. All those car killed in TG challenges are now immortal including his crappy Maserati.

Hehe good on him. Theres 500 of the bloody things FFS and its not like he stole one then blew it up.
Theres only 399 (or was it 299?) Ferrari Enzo's in exhistance, yet no hippies go mental when one is written off. It's their bus, they can do what they like with it. If these retards love them so much, they can buy their own and park it in their own oversized garage where no one can blow it up with a rocket launcher. |

Fair enough reason for people to get upset, but he owns it so he can do what he wants.
I was just thinking, I bet caravan enthusiasts hate Top Gear.

lol, TOP GEAR UK is by far the best motoring show I have ever seen, does anyone listen to a bus enthusiest?... who gives a rats... they a slow, underpowered and like he said cluttering up the roads... does the truth hurt that much lol.
if they want top 'protect' them i suggest they buy the rest and invite what ever friends if they know what the term 'friends' mean over to admire something that is trying to imitate a moving block of flats.
