    So the toyota pickup didn't even die after the drop from that really big building being demolished.... is anyone else thinking that's the truely most solid car ever!... even when the chasis was cracked it was still drivable!

    Honestly, no I don't think a toyota is the toughest vehicle made- but cant know for sure without results from demolishing other vehicles.

    BTW, where is this demolishion of a toyota?

    Yup, that pick-up is pretty much indestructible :D although to be fair if they really wanted to destroy it theyd have put it at the bottom of the building. Still a heck of a drop tho, i was expecting the suspension to be a little more broke than it was, didnt think itd be able to drive. Bet Toyota are loving all his publicity too:D

    Short of launching the car into the sun I don't see what else they could possibly do to it. I hope they do build a pilthe an d stick it on platform in the studio because that would be so cool.

    if we had sommat otherthan on road parking i would consider buying one of them as top gear make it a classic, they showed it was indistructable 7 good condition ones are gonna get harder to find as people will buyt hem with the sole purpose of trying to kill them


    & agian was i the only one applauding the car

    it was a good top gear this one sanjeev bashcar is just a class comedian "it could be two scooters carrying a wardrobe" & that holden by christ that was funny "poofta, my sheela can take corners quicker than that, watch out theres a pom on board" finally we get holdens in this country

    anyone fancy loaonign me the money for one, ive alwasy wanted one

    I just went to Google and did a search on "top gear toyota" and found a post by Sam over on DigitalSpy's forums about the same thing. :lol:

    Here's a quote from the Beeb's website about the poor Toyota:
    PS: *drool*
    (I just loved the 20 17 number plate :D)

    PPS: Hmm, bit of a giveaway to the Stig's identity?

    Now I don't think TopGear has quite that much cash to spend...

    What, the Black Stig died, to be replaced by the White Stig? I did *wonder* why there were a white one...what did Top GEar say about the Stig that went off the aircraft carrier ship, when the Stig was trying to beat the Harrier jump jet? I missed it.....damn!

    Lol with samuelellis, about the Holden, when you take off the traction control....priceless!

    Got a desire for one of those now....*gulps*
