Here we go again

There are unheard of tribes in the Amazon that have seen this vid, discovered Clarkson, had the 'this guy's a dick' debate and gone home for tea

I'm gonna go against the grain a little on this one, but there really aren't very many 80's cars I would even take for free.

a 5.0 mustang or a Buick GN...what else..maybe a 16v golf vw. and these are all 1988 and up, mostly...I did not shed a tear for that red C4.

Not a big fan of him shooting up a Corvette, but Top Gear IS the best show on TV IMHO!! At least they didn't drop a piano on like the Morris Minors get...

as much money as he shot in the sand, he could have bought a C6. If he shot for one minute total thats 8000 rounds @ approximately $10 a round for .50. Thats 80k.......... If he shot for 30 secs, nice down payment at least.

guesstimate on the cost of .50 ammo, last time I checked it was about 9 bucks a cap 10 years or so ago.

wonder what my .22 would do to my dad's old Jag? Its the only gun I have left that I could probably find that much ammo for.

miniguns are 30 cal (308/7.62x51). This episode was pretty old...so I'm gonna guess that they were shooting surplus at 25 cents per round for the back-in-the-day price for a total of about $2000. That's definitely in the Top Gear budget. They probably paid more for the helicopter ride than the corvette too. Besides, when they ran the gas tank down to nearly empty to shoot it up, the resale dropped by half anyhow.

He is VERY impressed with the ZedR-1. I've seen two Top Gears on it already- one in California when they drove the ZR-1, Hemi Challenger and CTS-V. There was another Top Gear episode where they compared it the an Audi R-10- Jermey's final comment was the ZR-1 made absolutely no sense- that's why you should buy one!
