Sure, they can have all the European hotcars, but they have not met a Marauder they can't resist. What do you think? Should they simply take one for a test drive and get their shorts blown off by the raw power of these beasts, or should they just keep on reviewing their own tacky automotive products? I would LOVE to see a Marauder put either a look of abject terror or a grin on the face of Top Gear's best man, Jeremy Clarkson. Heck, he MIGHT want to buy one himself... :D
Until next time, keep on squealin' them tires, and dustin' folks at the stop lights! Even the police HATE this car!!! LMAO

Anyway, I wrote on an email to them last year and telling them about the Marauder and sites and stuff. Never heard from them.:(

No, the ponce drives a Mercedes SL. ;)
With the review he did of the Ford Lightning, I doubt it. He really hated that truck, mostly for fit & finish. But he really did like the Holden Monaro, aka Pontiac GTO, so he might like the Marauder.

Well yeh! He's gonna hate all American cars, they have the steering wheel and stuff on the wrong side. :rofl:

I think that was what he hated about the lightning. The kit to move the steering to the left, made everything in the cabin squeak . .

He bought a Ford GT. They made fun of it because it took so long to get then he had to keep taking back to the dealer for repairs.
Didn't they test the Lightning off-road? The truck is a two wheel, rear drive. It's not meant to be driven in the dirt.
I sorta like Fifth Gear better. Just watch both shows to see the supercars they test.

I'm from the UK living here in the good ol US of A now and let me tell you Jeremy Clarkson is getting too big for his britches these days. Not sure he has any clue what cars are actually decent any more.
Hell, I'm a Marauder owner now and my last car was a Cobra. You guys sure have me convinced what's hot and what's not :D
Power is one thing, but when you couple it with comfort and style, it's unbeatable in my book!

The other guy on the show may like the Marauder. he recently bought a big block Road Runner.
One Top Gear episode showed the difference in perspective from the UK though. They were testing some kit car type thing that used a Ford 4.6. The reviewer talked about the "Big V8" and the "Huge Torque".

You mean Richard Hammond? The short guy? :D He bought a Lime Green Challenger, didn't he? He loved how it drove but pointed out how small the roads and garages are over there. He would get his car in the garage but couldn't open the door. :rolleyes: The problems he has. :lol: Only if I had such simple problems.
