Default Re: has anyone seen the top gear roadster video?

Clarkson chose the Crossfire as his favorite.

Hammond preferred the TT and May the 350Z (or the other way 'round, I don't recall exactly) None of them chose the car they "started reviewing" by the way, and there was no overall consensus on them. Clarkson even admitted that he surprised himself by choosing the Crossfire.

As for the Porsche love, that's primarily Hammond. Yes, May owns a 911 but Hammond seems to be of the impression that anything Porsche does is beyond reproach and the 911 is God's gift to motoring. But he's also a rabid fan of anything Horatio Zonda creates. There's the famous shot of Clarkson exiting a corner in an Audi R8, praising everything about the car, and then Hammond enters the picture in the background, sideways in some 911 variant. Awesome footage.

May is a lover of all things British - MGs, Aston Martins, Jags, Rolls Royce, Bentley, etc. I must say I'd love to get my hands on an Aston Martin V12 Vantage or, taking a totally different tack, an Austin Healey 3000 or a Lotus Esprit.

Either way, I love my Crossfire and really don't give a rats backside what any reviewer anywhere says about them.
