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?

I think he said in the last show that they'll drive the lp640 next time. I hope so

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

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.

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.
