Default Jeremy Clarkson MPH '07
Yes, it's true... I can hardly believe it myself, but Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond came to my country, South Africa, where they hosted and presented MPH '07 on 11 of February, which is usually exclusively held in the UK - AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO ATTEND!!!!

Jabba, I'm sure you've been to one, or a couple shows...

It was awesome!!!! Jim Swift and his stunt team were there doing stunts...

The STIG made an appearance.

Clarkson did about 20 dohnuts in a lamborghini gallardo.

Hammond played car soccer against a south african representitive in Cheverolet Sparks.

It really was great. They didn't allow flash photography or video to be taken of the actual show, but they did have a car expo of which i managed to take a few amatuer shots. I also got a copy of the programme, and if anyone's keen I'll scan it and post it in this topic... - Clarkson wrote an article about his dream garage

Anyone in the UK or Europe, if you get the chance you really should go... It was a 1 hour 30 minute show, of great driving skill, loads of dirty jokes and plenty of funny comments. Clarkson teased Hammond about his crash all the time!!

Please excuse the quality of the photographs, the expo was held indoors and it was a nightmare to get the right light settings.

If you're on about the one behind the vanquish it looks more like a V8 Vantage

Btw nice pics R8audi 8)

About the programme. I would like to see it and especially to see Clarksons Dream Garage

I'll scan in the magazine as soon as i get the chance! Probably post it on monday as I'm quite busy this weekend...

There were so many people there it was hard to get decent shots of the cars..

You're right MC12, it was a V8 Vantage. There was a DB9 there, but too many people were drooling over it for me to get close.
