Funny video, thanks for posting. I love the giddy sort of giggle when he talks about the sound of the 440.

Noticed alot of things with that Bullit scene. They passed that green vw a bunch of times, driver wheel cover fell off then it was back on. Love the drivers glasses! Need to get me some of those!

I think they also passed the same white GTO several times as well.

The funniest eppisode of Top Gear I ever saw was when they bought an old Toyota truck, I think it was a T100, with 200,000+ miles for like 100 bucks (pounds). They then drove down stairs, through mud, over boulders, on Mars, basically beat the tar out of it. They then drove it out to a beach at low tide. They then tied it down and waited for high tide. When the tide came in, the truck broke lose and crashed into a huge rock. It then flipped over and sunk. They waited for low tide again, flipped the truck back onto its wheels, cleaned it out and the thing started right up. They drove it back to their studio!!!!!

Thats why in 82 I parked my 1973 Newport and bought an 80 Corolla.
Had a Toyota Camray and 2 more Corollas in the family ever since until last summer.
Finally got rid of my 91 Camray with 210,000 miles. My 78 y/o mother still drives a 2000 Camray.

Parked that Newport and the sun blewout the rear window when the heat built up one summer day. Actually it remained intact but was not driveable. The coil went and I sold it.
Dated my wife in that car.
Learned to drive in a 71 Polara. Lookin for another 71 2D Polara if anyone knows of a half decent one.

My first Toyota (not car) was an 81 Corolla. They were still rear wheel drive that year. No PS, no A/C. It lasted 187K miles and finally rusted apart. The rear bumper fell off, door bottoms rusted away (not good in the rain!), even the fins in the radiator corroded away exposing the tubes! It still ran great. The only thing I ever did to the car besides oil changes was front brakes and wheel bearings. I've owned a Toyota ever since.
My current ride...

I found that episode on top gear with the Toyota truck on youtube.com. Just type in "top gear toyota pickup" in the search window and enjoy.
