What happened mark i missed it.

make a boat out of a car... clarkson gets a toyota hilux, welds the doors/seems, sealant in all the holes, then bol=ts a brand new 225hp honda 4 stroke on the tailgate!

worked all right till he tried turning too fast.. and it turned over and sank....while the engine was still running.. 13 grand of licence payers money at the bottom of a reservoir!

13 grand of licence payers money at the bottom of a reservoir!

Still....put a smile on my face on a Sunday night.

Quite happily pay my licence fee to get shows like this.

Same here. It could have been worse, they could have gave the 13 grand to the budget of My Family :casstet:

 

[mark]

have to agree, rather have seen 13grand dissappear that way than to more reality tv shite

That engine would be fine if they got the mechanic they had from the original Hilux destruction attempt.

Bit of WD40 and it\'d be right as rain.

Unlike the Hilux they had this week

 

[Davyred]

That Hilux was unbelievable - they still had it in the studio.

 

[mark]

I suspect it\'d need a bit more than wd40! swamped an engine once whilst it was ruuning, water in cylinders whilst running=bent conrods at the very least

Clarkson wanted to put 2 of those outboards on
