4 miles to the gallon on the thrash! Fuel consumption that even made rude boy jezza cast his eyes guiltily to the floor! Oh, it goes up to about 12 if you're VERY careful with it :lol:... that's like 6x the thirst of mine! :D (but i guess it's not surprising considering the engine size, and how it does 220mph i suppose..... 130mph in 3rd! that's something that would be nice to experience... once.. :D)

My dad would take the original 3-inches-shorter version in a shot and i'd be hard pressed not to follow him either, would if either of us had the cash to buy and run it!

Two humiliating defeats for clarkson in the same show, oh dear... first he has to accept that diesels actually can move, and then a car he's waited more than 30 years for proves too expensive and too hard to get into for daily use... :(

(Hm, the SD1, should have remembered that... what's it stand for? and what is the spikey chaps name anyway (and that other one that is startlingly reminiscent of stephen fry?)??!?)

That will be in order: Richard Hammond and James May.

Yes, I know I'm sad :)
