Good point!! answers on a postcard............ the 5 was the turbo 2 was it not but the clio??? I just assumed he was making the point that renault liked to put big engines in small cars.......

I thought that was one of the best Top Gears this series, even Anne Robinson was pretty amusing!

I have never seen them so enthusiastic about a car as they were with this V6 Clio. Pity it was raining for their track drive, otherwise it would have been closer to the top of the leaderboard.

Why does it have such a large turning circle? Same goes for the 172!

Well far as I know its got 18 Inchers, and the tyres are wide as anything.

So far as i understand the, the wider and bigger the tyres, the big the turning circle.

Could be wrong tho?

I remarked to my husband about how wide and flat the V6 had got - then he narrowed the width of the screen and it looked different!! Maybe you had the wide screen thing on too trog!!

I dont think so dj illusion! My hubbys Beemer has 18" wheels and the tyres on the back are bigger than the front and it turns a much smaller circle than my 172.

The stig should redrive the car as all the other marque cars were driven in the dry...they wouldnt of driven the Zonda in the wet would they.



But driving the V6 in the wet only made it shine more as the supercar it is !!!

I got a little feeling its Tiff Needle cos as hes on 5th gear, they might have to hide his i.d.

Other than that maybe Damon Hill, or that small bloke who also helps presenting Top Gear?

Anyone else who it could be?

Clarkson sold his ferrari because he belived hed bought the wrong colour....
He bought a green one :p

At least thats what he said in on top gear a few years ago.

He bought a green one?

Mate he definately didnt have a green one,

I got pics and video of him in it, and its Red.

I also saw the little bit of footage about him selling it for the merc, and it was shown red on that too

you said u saw it on top gear a few years back? I only thought he sold it last year some time?

I saw the clip where clarkson was deciding what colour to get for his ferrari - "Umm, arrr, Ill have a Gre.... Red one please!"

The point being that Ferraris only seem to be proper if they are Ferrari Red!

I saw a baby-blue 360 modena Convertible when I was in milan - wasnt sure if I liked it or not, but certainly caught your eye! And I suppose you could always respray it... ;)

I didnt say id seen it, just that jeremy said he bought a green one and wished he hadnt. If I remember rightly it was the first car he bought after he got paid for the for his first series of top gear.

"Umm, arrr, Ill have a Gre.... Red one please!"

That was in refence to his cockup with buying a green one the first time ;)
