We think our Indestructible Hilux is the first TopGear car yet. Not sure though.

Also, don't call your racecar indestructible. We found that out the hard way.

There have been a ton of Peniston Oils cars. Too many to even begin looking.

We have  potential Jeremy Clarkson "How hard could it be?" theme after we exhaust the more obvious, less invasive, themes for our super-secret class C build. 

Now that I think of it, we have a future of motorsports theme as well...but we would need another willing victim...er, tem.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Top Gear Themes: Not sure if this would pass the rule about "having structural elements that extend past the original bodywork line" but I always thought a lemony Toyboata would have been amusing. You could probably do it with your wife's cake mixer bolted to the tailgate but the body of a proper outboard motor would be more trick.l

With the passing of Leonard Nimoy today, someone really should race a dustbuster van with this theme

That orange ball thing will be on track in 2015.  Not by me of course, but it's just too perfect!

I had to learn more about this car: http://www.thisbrighton.co.uk/culture-hcvs-outspan.htm
"The car has a top speed of 30 mph. At more than 30 it is unstable, and can roll over. Given its shape, I expect it would roll quite far as well! I would love to have seen it on the move, but unfortunately the whole time I was there it was stationary."

This makes Rule 6.3 interesting.
Also, since it's completely round on top, do you trigger the upside-down rule for the driver 12-month driver exclusion if the car doesn't "stay" on it's roof?

I was thinking about making our Mini into a potato, but an orange, that's a better idea!
