when you listen to this keep in mind he makes fun of the fit and finish - Ford never made a rt hand drive lightning
so the conversion was done by some hack in the UK - all the fit and finish issues are related to taking a left hand drive truck and converting it

Top Gear rocks - !!!!

I know that and he should know that, so that part does irk me a bit, he does love the power and sound of the truck though.. funny when someone pinches his stuff out of the back of it, it was so little, that he should have put it in the cab with him..

Given how hard he is on every American car he tests, the Lightning got rave reviews from him. He also did one on the GT500 and he absolutely loved the car as well.

That is the same guy that bought a Ford GT and then sent it back to Ford. Something about the alarm kept going off.

Top Gear rocks - !!!! +1 I also remember him complaining about the truck having loose steering, this could be from a poorly converted truck.

when your driving Ferrari Enzos, Aston Martin DB9s, Ford GTs, Lamborghini Murcielagos I can see why he thinks the steering is loose

personally driving the Vette then driving the L it does feel like the steering is loose

His car of the year pick? The Corvette ZR-1.

That part of the L driving through all the mud and under-brush was painful to watch!:nono:
