you can't kill a toyota...

[Mike70]

this is the last segment from a british show where cars/trucks are put through their paces. this episode is about the toyota pickup truck and the attempt to kill it.

this truck, which was bought for a £1000, had already been rammed into a tree and then left in the ocean for 5 hours and it started. then they dropped a camper on it and it kept going. then they set it on fire, let it burn up and the damn thing still started up. in this final attempt, it is placed on top of a 24 story bldg which is then blown up.

ah christ, the embedding is disabled.

Ah Top Gear - my favourite show. :cool:

New series coming soon too, and aye, that Toyota thing was back in series 3 (they've done 12 or 13 series so far), and they've now got the battered old thing on a plinth in the studio. It's incredible what they did to it.
