They were filming about a new Ford ST Fiesta. Next to my Viper was an old Sierra Cosworth in silver where they interviewed the owner, they were only interested in old Fords and Hot Hatchback type cars :(

Viper was snubbed. I left halfway through the filming. New Top Gear is rubbish.

Hey Fatboy, how ya doin'?

Tried but to no avail.
"Sorry, only available in UK...due to licensing issue."

Thank you just the same.

Have a great day

Love the "UK"ism. "Rubbish". Classic

Yes, We the VOA UK Region were approached by the BBC Research dept last week and asked if we could supply them with a Gen V Viper for the studio. They only wanted a Gen V, (no other models) It was on static display only, the car belongs to Andrew Blackmore and in return for supplying the car they were given two free tickets to be in the studio during the filming. Top Gear is filmed on a Wednesday and the show goes out on the following Sunday.

As far as we know there are only 4 Gen V vipers in the UK, 1 is at a northern car dealership for sale, 2 others are owned by Club members and a Silver ACR is owned by a forum enthusiast here.

I watched the show this week but still don't think much of it :(24433
