Default New Ford GT

Have just seen one of these parked on someones drive round the corner from me.

Photographs do not do it justice, probably one of the most stunning looking cars I've ever seen.

I want one, how much are they ?

Jeremy Clarkeson has had nowt but trouble with his. I dont think he's been able to drive it without it breaking down.

Still a gorgeous looking car though.

There is a gorgeous yellow one that parks in the car park in Chelsea that I leave my motorbike in when I'm at work got pics of it on my phone. some gorgeous cars in the area shame that they are owned by muppets who probably pose in them and never get out of second gear!!! seen a few enzo's still yet to get a pic of one I was more impressed when I saw an F40 but still a gorgeous car with a lovely sound!!!

He also got rid of it, waited 2 years for it sold it 3 months later because of the trouble with it, that and because he got 75 miles to the tank going by the test day average and worked 76 miles from the studio.

He kept that very quiet. I would have thought he would have been going on more about the problems that he's had than he has been.

I think top gear have a habit of making things up though, i cant belive a modern car would never complete a single journey.
