Obviously not content with killing the Norris Designs Evo, Top Gear have apparently now damaged a rare C-type Jaguar race car (one of only 3 working examples!) which won the 1953 Le Mans race.

Whoever was driving it at the time managed to twist the driveshafts and destroy the tyres and clutch.

Muppets! :rolleyes:

heh saw this on sky news - good work top gear :thumbs:

It's good in a way - doesn't make Norris' car look unreliable. Makes top gear drivers look like spoons :D

Does that mean they are top notch, cause I heard Spoons test drivers are pretty darn good ;) :D

Ahh notice I didn't say _spoons'_ , but spoons, and thus had no connection with that excellent honda tuning comp :)

I saw this article - it all seems a bit fishy to me. This car after all was built to average 100mph or so round le sarthe for 24 hrs surely if could cope with a couple of hours tomfoolery.

Christ I just came from the GTR site where I think they said who was driving and I've already forgotten. I don't think it was the stig, Jonathan Palmer and someone else?

Oh, and the stig is Perry Mccarthy apparently :)
