Kinda funny that there are so many clips of him trashing the cars (both physically and verbally) in a Toyota promo video.

He also did them a favour with the 2 generations of Hilux.
ford UK should get in on it, he's praised them more than probably anyone else

I think Clarkson might secretly hate ford for what happened with his Ford GT That stupid Toyota truck was also put on the roof of a tall building when they demolished it, and the fucking thing still works

[QUOTE=abcpea;47411199]i thought theyd never start it again after they dented the body slightly and burnt some of the paint off[/QUOTE] Well, if I remember correctly, they got it from some farmer, rammed it into a tree, drove it along some stone walls, parked it in the Thames Estry at low tide and left it there. Then they rammed it through a shed, dropped a caravan on it, set it on fire. Then they put it on top of a building and blew the building the hell up. If a random ute they got can handle that kind of punishment and still work, that's pretty good advertising.

It's just insane what the thing went through and it still works. I think they also hit it with a wrecking ball

You could still see the water in the headlights on their later tests. :v: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk&list=PLlIRPWS4MGflIt8kYk3oXanXdGe3FJzio&index=1[/media]

It's both clever and charming that cars brands are nabbing some publicity while paying tribute. It's not coming across as some cheap trick for easy press and its just surprising that it's happening.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47417170]Toyota's last forever and are durable as fuck[/QUOTE] I can vouch for that, I have a 26 year old Camry it's still as reliable as ever.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47417170]Toyota's last forever and are durable as fuck[/QUOTE] Well the older ones at least. Rust is their only natural enemy.
