    Default Jeremy Clarkson's FGT vs. Gallardo

    Watch starting at 5 minute into this where he says that his Lambo is much better than the FGT he used to own, because is doesn't breakdown!

    Unfair, but that is what he said.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but didn't I read somewhere that he had problems with his after a bad mod or an incorrect tune.

    Clarkson's only problem with his GT that I am aware of was with an aftermarket security system/immobilizer that went haywire. As for the superior reliability of his Lambo, let's see what happens after he puts 20-30K hard miles on it.

    We need Neilda to take him out bird hunting again and convince him to retrack that bogus remark........

    And he really needs to drive a Whipped or at least a well tuned GT

    Very nice.

    I think I saw a clip of him driving a GTX-1 at one time and I remember him commenting on loving the extra power.

    This is my favorite clip from Clarkson of all time. He took his GT along with a Ferrari 430 spyder and a Pagani Zonda to Paris and had some parking issues. Like we all can't relate to that.

    The noise the Zonda makes as it tries to exit the parking garage. Ouch!!! On top of that I don't think Clarkson could have got any closer to scraping on his garage exit without hitting the front. Here is the clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtjSb...eature=related

    This is just the parking sequence but the whole segement of their 700 mile road trip is worth the time to watch.
