Clarkson cries and moans about American cars.  If it were a Ferrari, he would have no problem with it what so ever.  The Ferrari could piss motor oil on him ever time he sits in it and he'd having a hard on.

Couldn't agree more, HOWEVER...

He does make a point that this is no American Ford, what with all the R&D and parts coming from overseas sources.

I disagree. Did you see the episode where they each had to buy a supercar for 10000 pounds? Hahahaha

I was at cycle gear the other morning and started to chat with this kat about adventure riding.   I stepped outside and had a smoke and there was an amazing Ford GT.  Of course it was the guys i was talking to.  I proceeded to watch him drop about 3k on gear like it was chump change.  Some guys have all the luck. Undecided   I know its not Italian but i had to take a couple pics.   Now just have to figure out how to crop the sweet Ford Ranger.    cheeky



 

Next time you get a chance to take pics of a GT, leave the bike out of the pic.  Wink

He was pretty complimentary of the GT for quite a while. It wasn't until his ownership experience that he bagged on them, and even then he let it go on far longer than usual.

He does rag on American cars as a rule, and it makes sense that he would. American cars are largely built for the American marketplace and don't really match up with the European environment. Then again, he also rags on a LOT of other cars unless they go really fast or would look good with Kristen Scott-Thomas in them.

I just remembered I had these in my phone so I had to share...

I made a "house call" to a customer's garage to help install some body parts I painted for his car. When I arrived I walked in with an armful of buffers, compounds, tools, etc. He graciously took some of the load off my hands and set it on the car next to the one we were working on (it was obviously covered). For a moment I payed no real mind and got to work on his car, just asking him for the tools I needed. He tossed a plastic toolbox onto the trunk of the car, flipped it open and began laying out all these tools right on the car. Being a painter I started to look at him with a subjective eye... then I noticed the shape of the car, and the striped cover. "Is that what I think it is?" I asked. Yep, he was using his GT as a workbench.  bang head

No.  I'm guessing another classic Ford.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Probably right B!

Oh yeah..I like the circular window on the side.  Added touch for the small blind spot a driver may have..similar to the classic T-Bird.
