I wish someone would make a video like this using a . I would pay good money to see that. If I ever win the lottery I will make my own, and it would include:

darts (like Hammond and May did in the quarry).

conkers (using cranes, as Clarkson did with the caravans).

dominoes (no explanation needed ).

double decker bus jumping (but jumping the bus over a line of , not the other way round ).

behind the jumbo jet with its engines at full throttle (2CV/Mondeo).

Beautiful video.


Though the original LS400 looked pretty cool.

And thoroughly enjoyed it.

But the LS400 is probably my favorite Lexus. It was more original in many ways than the current Lexus lineup with their styling cue rip-offs of the Europeans.

Re: Jeremy Clarkson shoots (destroys) another Toyota.

Lexus may be more reliable than the European and some American alternatives. Heck I would even say that if you looking for an used luxury car, you should buy an LS 430 instead of an S-class W220. Unless of course it's an S600, S55 and S65 AMG.

That said, however, they have never made a car that made me want one. And don't think for one moment I'm here to bash Lexus. Actually, I do think Clarkson was unfair to the LS 400. There are duller cars out there, which deserve to be shot.

Him being unfair is the single most important part of his act.
