By non-other than Tanner himself. The DSC broke middle of the stage and he became faster. Top Gear America Season 4 Episode 3 original air date 2013/09/17.

Anyone else saw it?

 

Got a kick out of his description of the typical MINI driver. The look on his navigator's face when he told her there was no roll cage was priceless. (SPOILER ALERT) He finished 5th in a field of 34 (I believe)

 

Got the episode from Amazon, Great episode, broke sone electrical traction control component not a mechanical part.

The car looked great, he started not looking the car much but he looked like he was loving it at the end. 5th place was awesome.

 

Oh held.... If you are to mention "Top Gear", speak of the original and not that abortion of a show.

 

For sure. Foust is an insufferable show-off and spoiled brat, and the shows always seem to be more about him and how he has to win at all costs than the cars he drives.

Trouble is, Clarkson and company never did think much of any of the new MINI's either....

 

If you've ever met Tanner, you'd know that he's probably one of the nicest, most humble people you could meet. Met him at GRC in Charlotte, and he Was just awesome. Never cared about him before that, so I'm definitely not a fanboi.

As for Clarkson - he absolutely loved the R53.
