Hi Cookie Monster

Yes it was very sad,I could never do that to any vehicle myself.
I hate it when I see cars being destroyed in the movies especially vintage and classic cars.
To think that some owner looked after the car for years keeping it in prestine condition,the movie company buys it and then destroys it in a few seconds.

Just shows you, how much more proof do you need that the Hilux is the best and most reliable 4x4?

I took an immediate dislike to Mr. Jeremy Clarkson after I saw that clip. I have saved all three clips, and view them occasionally when I am in a good mood and feel up to it.

It is total sacrilege to put any vehicle, far less a Hilux, through what they did to that one. :x

His day will come! :twisted: :twisted:

That's a lekker mean-looking machine! Now all it needs is a remote-controlled ejection seat so that we can eject Jeremy into a crevice... :mrgreen:

Still don't know if I would swap it for my SFA though... although it seems pretty capable :D
