You remember the one (first production unit, a yellow one) used for review couple of years back by Vicki? That wasn't a press car either. So no "Tiff Needell" driving for her.

This is not the first time that the same test car has been used on top gear and fifth gear for the same comparo. The Voxhaul Manaro(Holden to everyone else) that was tested a few weeks ago on top gear was also tested on fifth gear.

i can get 1 in 9 years and that is if i work 24/7 a day for 9 years.
man, that sucks, this just make me realized how poor i am.
Oh for god's sake.. lol. Think how much time you wasted working that out.. could have been out there earning some money.

A used zonda in five years will be worth half that money, plus if you work you way up to restaurant manager you may be earning 10 bucks an hour - see - you're already much closer
You're never going to see a second hand Zonda worth half its cost mate. Once they release their "little" car, the brand will skyrocket, and everybody who had bought one of the limited edition roadsters will have bought an absolute collector's item.

Lucky fucks.

I agree, the work done and put into to make the topgear one is sooo much better. as was the review

but the Aston is such a bad car, I don't think it is good for their press with all the car problems both programs had.
