Well ... the dutch rerun of Top Gear had the Monaro on their test track today ... Eben Clarkson didn't run it down too much ... had some nice fun on the track :)
Than, they faced a 440HP tuned version against a Jag XKR ... and the Monaro won ... not sure about the distance they ran, though ...

Oh, and then they had the famed Toyota pickup back ... the one the battered, bruised, drowned, burned, and that still ran ...

Well, this time, they put it on top of a 12+ story building that was blown up ... not a pretty sight ... but it wasn't covered, just looking pretty bad from the 240ft drop ...

The mechanic didn't have any spare parts and was only allowed basic tools ...

... and the motor still started ... and it moved ... the wheels weren't really straight anymore, but it still drove! Totally crazy! The bodywork was holding the chassis ... :)
