    Wow, I'm no fan at all of Top Gear and Clarkson, but that was amazing.

    That probably did more for Toyota sales in the UK than all the expensive advertising they normally do!

    That is why I buy Toyota. I'm sick of fixing cars, if you really want to build a relationship with your mechanic sell your Toyota and buy anything but a Toyota. 20 years I was a mechanic, and for most of that time I serviced Toyotas and fixed everything else.

    I don't care for Top Gear, but I loved that segment.

    lol, erm no.

    I did notice the emissions were a wee bit smokey when they eventually got it started after the tower block explosion. :eek:

    I wonder if the US military are now looking at ways to destroy Toyota Pickups as they do indeed appear to be used by those who wish us harm. :(

    I've owned three 4Runners and have off roaded them all in some pretty extreme places. Short of doing something stupid, they're nearly indestructible.
