Woooo! Top Gear FTW

Top Gear is doing the top selling vehicle in the world.
F150 is the top selling vehicle.
I hope its not an old eppisode, but it looks like a 2008 lightning.
He is loving it too.


haha, now he's ragging on it too.
Saying its rubbish.
It's the brittish version though.
The dash pannels dont line up and stuff.

Heh, no wonder he ragged on it though.

The stearing had over an inch of play like the old OBS's can get, but it was brand new.
He hated the interrior too. *shrugs*
Thats what they get for doing a lightning SVT.
The dash was really poor though. The gaps were huge, and the pannels didn't line up at all.

They get scared if they are driving anything bigger then a go cart. It is still just a truck so it won't have the quality of a lamborgini anyways. It is a funny funny show though.

i think alot of the things he complained about as far as the play in the wheel and the dash gaps are due to the rhd conversion

Well, its not nessarly due to the conversion.

When shops do things like that, they generally don't give as much of a crap.
