Jeremy had a Ferrari 355, a Ford Escort Cossworth & an Aston Martin DB7. He also had or has (not sure) a Jaguar XJR. He has sold his Ferrari 355 so he could buy the SL55.

The SL is faster in a straight line but the ferrari is much better on a track because it is more then half a ton lighter and it's suspension is just way better for sporty driving. Jeremy chose the SL because of it's noice & because it is sporty and comfortable at the same time. It is a whole other type of car the the 355.

Yep. I suppose Tiff spends his money on his Lister Storm instead of buying a ferrari... He once said he hasn't quite given racing up (he goes racing with that Lister Storm).

I don't know what car Tiff drives in every day life. But his favorite car... hard to say, I think it's more of a top 5. The said he would like to have a TVR Tuscan for the weekend and a 911 for the week. And he loves both the 360 & the F1...

I can't imagine clarkson chose the sl55 over the F355 because of its noise. the F355 has one of the sweetest sounds ever.

and Tiff doesn't spend his money on the lister. he doesn't own it, he just drive it ocassionaly for the lister storm racing team.

I'd say the Mclaren, just cause it's Tiff and I saw how he liked it in the review. (It seemed to be more than he did the Modena.)

He said he chose the SL55 cause he likes all of his toys, and "the Ferrari is as relaxing as being tickled". I know too much about Top Gear, I feel like a dork being able to quote Top gear like that.

This topic is totally moot since if any of us have seen the 5th gear greatest cars in the world episide they would know that tiff's pic for greatest realistic car is the 360 and his pic for the greatest car ever is without a doubt the McLaren F1.

on 5th gear website he said mclaren f1 was best car he ever drove, and zonda damn close in 2nd place.

jeremy owns a mercedes sl55 and prolly something else, he can afford it, he was a regular customer of concorde flights.

Tiff has a BMW 540i and a Mercedes ML.

JC owns the SL55 AMG of course, as others have mentioned. I don't know about a Jaguar. In a review about 4WDs he brought his own or a similar Toyota Landcruiser. I think he mentioned having one on other occasions as well.

I think Tiff's fav car is the Ferrari 360 modena, remember? If I could I'll buy one tomorrow. Manual, red. Eh just like me!!

Then there's the McLaren F1, but being realistic its price is too high... I noticed he likes the Porsche GT3 (he was always smiling during the test) and the Pagani Zonda. But I've never seen him so excitated like when he was testing for the first time the Mecca.
And what about the Enzo??

Well he absolutely loved the Mclaren F1 when he reveiwed that all those years ago, but then in the real world he is major fan of the BMW's. He's got the m5 and the m convertible (which is in his video when he shows his car) and i'm not sure bout the porsche. He does love the 360 and the dino as well, but i don't think he has bought his 360 yet!!
