I watched Sunday's Top Gear last night, and Hammond announced that Clarkson had just bought a Gallardo Spyder and has gotten rid of the Ford GT.

Clarkson then said he'll be driving a Lamborghini on this week's show, although he didn't say whether it would be his own car or not.

 

That's cool, I love that show. I wonder if he got the Dark Grey one with the orange interior, that he drove a while back?

 

read about it in their magazine may had tricked him into buying one!
I think he said in the last show that they'll drive the lp640 next time. I hope so

 

Good to hear! He hated the coupe, but loved the convertible. Funny episode!

 

he's too tall for that car

 

Clarkson ordered the Gallardo Spyder months ago after driving it on the the show. I believe we'll be seeing the LP640 on Sunday.

 

that's why he bought the cab version, so he wouldn't have to bend his neck while driving

 

does he fit? lol Nice pickup


E

 

can someone post the link of the gallardo episode? i havent seen it..

 

where does he get the money to buy these things? I know he's a writer for a newspaper and the show, but I had heard the gt was given to him by ford.

 

Outside of his writing gigs, he's the lead host of one of the largest (if not the largest) television shows in history. 350 million viewers worldwide. The most downloaded show in the history of the internet. He's doing just fine in the $$ dept.

 

He did drive a lime green LP640 on the show as a roadtest. I just saw it yesterday..I'll try and find the link.

 

Our local market killed the show last year. Anyone have links to current shows?

 

Not sure whre u heard that. I'm quite sure he bought it. Twice, actually. Ford bought it back the first time due to lemon issues, but he liked it too much and bought another one.

 

To my current info that he used to own a Ford Gt, a F355 GTS and he currently owns a SLK55, SL55 and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder correct ?
