What's the truth, what happend when 75 ended on the roof on the track, that was fake i suppose?
And gearbox really died or they left it without oil?

Thanks for the replys, I'm using the Google tool bar which translates most stuff;)

My friend payed £ 500 for clarksons 75 then sold it to top gear for £ 1000 with the option to buy it back after the show for £ 1, which he did then he sold it to me last year. it did not go on its roof it was tipped on its side and dragged just for the movie: mad:

This colour is mockery by Jeremy Clarkson and if I were You that car would be in any other colour than that one.Clarkson was making fun of that car but my opinion is that this car didn't diserve that.If Clarkson is so smart why he doesen't make one supercar of his own and give Stig to make a few laps on Top Gear's fameous track so we can see what are the times and where the time is going to be posted on that wall.I think that was really too much.But this is only my opinion.

Made a start on the front end as its been shunted back abit causing the wheels to rub if you try to turn in anyway

how it was

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/anydoo/dam3.jpg)

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/anydoo/fb1.jpg)

as you can see its moved down and back.... was abit of a pain to get off due to all brackets bent snapped and rusty

here you can see the hole on the wing were the bolt has been ripped out and the 2 bent front mounts (one with the snapped mount off the bumper)

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/anydoo/fb2.jpg)

O/S seems to have taken the hit harder as bracket has bent and come out of its sleeve

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/anydoo/fb3.jpg)

after some work its back in shape

(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/anydoo/fb4.jpg)

Had to do abit of work on the headlight mounts as the O/S light was about 15mm out which ment the grill would not fit   
so after some more fine hammering it all went back together again and quite pleased..... its solid and almost straight but its hard to fix things without it looking to fixed  :lol:
