but does he drive that Ford GT? when he raced on the track he got 4mpg and there was concern he wouldn't be able to reach the nearest petrol station if he set off driving from his home. something about strapping jerry cans to the rear of it?

Yeah he drives it, I believe he's had a few problems with the tracker saying his cars been nicked even though he's driving it. I think the still drives his Merc post oftern though and only uses the GT for fun.

He does not drive a Ford GT, i have seen that episode were they gave him one and his end virdict was that it was inapropriate in a city full of courners.

I think he drives a Ford Focus.

It's built by Rheinmetall AG, a German company... which further proves that - aside from the Nazis - all the best stuff comes from Germany. Secondly, the reason why they use smoothbore barrels on the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks is because Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding-Sabot (sub-munition) rounds actually LOSE accuracy if you impart a spin on them."

A quote from those comments. Anwyay, they could have got him a few times throughout the thing...and they didn't use their coaxial MG the entire time..

I think the Abrams is the fastest tank out of the two.

definately.. I believe that the abram has a top cruise speed of around 60 mph.. not sure though.

t is true that americans cant build cars though : P well there ok in a straight line but cant go around corners.

uh... ???!!??? Ever hear of the muscle car era?!?

I would race any of you with my 69 chevelle el camino anytime and we will see how good americans can build cars.. of course when its done anyway.. still another 2 years of work or so before I get her finished. Although its true that our cars dont exactly take turns very well. Oh well I guess ill just have to powerslide around a corner and keep my speed instead of having to brake

oh and ive watched some of these episodes before on TLC.. he did one a while back about an american classic, the chevelle. The only episode I really liked.
