Top Gear 400 mile non stop run in a A8 4.2 TDI - 10-08-2005, 02:16 AM

Did anyone watch it? It was pretty cool, Clarkson took the car all the way up from London to Edinburgh, only stopped once he reached Edinburgh. Then ran out of fuel and was literally driving on fumes til he reached the garage(gas station) where he started, all on one tank of gas. Truly amazing this was.

I didn't saw it. I don't have much time to watch TV lately. BTW does anyone know which day and time is Top Gear on BBC World this season?

The gas station where he started? Did you mean he went there and back or what?

Long live diesels!

The garage was rigt outside of the studio I believe, and that's where he filled up to a full tank right before he left. As he returned on a completely empty tank he found his way back to the same garage again.
