I you toggle to the end of the video sequence, there you will see Jeromy drive, and crash, a 340!

Enjoy ...

FWIW I don't dislike Clarkson at all, he is perfectly happy to le everybody know how he feels. If I where to dislike him for not liking my choice in cars, I couldn't enjoy him insulting the French or blowing up caravans without being a hypocrite, and I love it when he takes the piss out of the French!

Haven't seen that post mate.

Sorry.
Not that I dislike Clarkson at all (he's the best IMO on the TopGear show), I just don't feel that it's right to say that all the 300 series are scrap!

I too don't dislike Clarkson, some of his comments are classic and his sections in some newspapers are brilliant reading. He chose to dislike the 300, it's a shame he didn't look deeper or find a real reason not to like it. As someone else sugested, maybe getting him to see a few examples of 300's on here might be interesting! He lives very locally to me actually, on the old Top Gear they used to do a lot of the test drives around here and I think they still do on some of them.

I think a boosted 360 hanging its arse out in the hands of the Stig would do the trick ;)

cheers

I think the clip is funny. 300s are simple and odd cars - thats why we love them! :)

I'd be worried if clarkson liked them :wink:
