Nothing goes until about 4.25 ... Clarkson as ever...himself. Still, he did buy one so I can forgive him that.

There is an 850-R being used on their new African adventure in a few weeks. James May uses it on their search for the start of the Nile. Jezza has a 528 Touring and Hammond has an Imprezza estate.

Good find! I'd been looking for that video. I heard he still has it! I thought I was seeing things as the reg is one digit off the 460 I have sat on my drive!

I can't watch it. :hidesbehi What a waste of a rare R in racing green too!! You know its going to be abused and absolutely trashed by the end.

Would be interesting to see what they think of it thou and i bet its damn reliable unlike the BM they have.
