Clarkson's FGT

It is. Over 45K miles on it now. The Ex Clackson car has 4,600 miles on it. I should know as it's mine now :cheers

I hate to redirect the thread, but I sure would like to know more about your acquisition of Clarkson's FGT. Was he still pizzed at the car, or other reasons for selling? I'm just nosy I guess.

I was definately lucky... we def. went up and down flying through the transitions of the mountains... don't want you thinking it was 140 straight..... did how ever have to tap the brakes at 95mph later on during the trip when I passed a CHP on the side ... he must of been doing paper work... nervous for a while but he never came in my rearview mirror...

You know the good or bad thing abot the GT's are they want to cruise at about 100 mph. It just feels right.:thumbsup

To be honest, I've no idea on some of the ins and outs of what happened. I can tell you that I bought the car directly off Ford UK. They think it's the first car they've ever sold! All other cars have been sold via the dealer network.

I've got to give a big thank you to Fords for letting me buy the car. As you can imagine, there was a lot of interest in it! It'll be great fun in the next few months. I live about 500 yards from V8 FGT (who helped a lot too :cheers) and not that far from prmoldoaks. Just like London busses then. Wait for ages to see one, then 3 come along all at once :biggrin

Did you get rid of Clarkson's infamous "security system" on that car?????

Nope! Nothing wrong with it. User error.... But hey, why let the fact that you couldn't handle the system get in the way of a good story.
