SVX with TopGear

Top Gear USA is most likely going to destroy it.

I've been waiting for them to do something with the SVX. Glad to see it finally come around!

Re: SVX with TopGear

Maybe not entirely. They will certainly push it to its limits though. It's said that Foust is going to be rallying it so we'll see how it fares

Re: SVX with TopGear

Judging by the condition of the caddy and "ford", I don't see them being destroyed, at least not on purpose.

Re: SVX with TopGear

could care less about the caddy. I really hope they don't kill the Merkur....oh yeah and the SVX too. Hope they don't kill that either.

I wonder how they would react to a forum of people telling them the wheel is on backwards?

Re: SVX with TopGear

These days, it's almost an honor. You'd like to think that any destroyed machines were better off destroyed, anyway...

It is. Both of the other cars are also on craigslist.

Re: SVX with TopGear

I've only seen an episode or two of TGUS and can't say it was very impressive. Is the show actually followed in the US? Do they do anything but destroy cars, crack ill founded jokes and let people drive around teh track?

I'm not saying it's bad for everyone, it's in the eye of the beholder
