Jeremy Clarkson goes about trying to test Toyota's "unbreakable" claim in a clapped out hilux
Clip is 16 min long but is worth it, pure gold. (Guess cable only) Taken from a thread at AMC http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=15438 |

Saw the top gear episode racing an Aston Martin against a train from England to Monaco, and A lotus trying to outrun an Apache helicopter gunship. They do some very througher testinag and great show to watch.

Thats the best kind of advertising you could ever do. With the exception of one old toyota, every old toyota i've come across has been brilliant.
There was something about seeing a caravan drop on the car (and the fantastic end of the clip!) that tickled my funnny bone.

I've only got into Top Gear in the last month or so, and think its absolutely brilliant.
The piece a couple of weeks ago where they had to buy a Porsche for 1,500 pounds, drive it, race it, do it up and then sell it again was hilarious. Quick question - how can I save the clips on the Top Gear website to my hard drive for viewing later? |

Amazing, They drive it into a tree, sink it in the ocean, drop it from a crane, drop a caravan on it, hit it with a demolision ball, set fire to it and then they put it on a 20 story building that gets imploded and they can still drive it away.... a little worse for wear tho......
Unbreakable,,, true.... |

I want to save a copy of this clip, but it automatically opens in a standalone player. Can someone tell me how I can save it as an mpeg or something similar?

Love it
Your right though, hit a speed hump faster than 30ks in the Territory and all hell breaks loose. Anyone got the whole series of top gear?

That was hilarious. Toyota can really take the unbreakable title that they use on their ads now.
