Jezza simply won't fit on a 1960s GT40. He is too tall for it!

I like the TopGear magazine and website. I also enjoy the show, but sometime Clarkson seems to deliberately take a contrary view, that said, it is primarily about entertainment. The show when they try and cross the English Channel in cars is a good one.

I'll watch the link now - but for the record I don't really care that much for the Clubman either...but I never cared for the original Mini-derivatives either.

Oh okay, it's just their "award" show, not a proper road-test.

...and before I get run out of town, let me just say if the US Clubman came with the rear middle seat option as in Europe I may have been tempted over a coupe to make it a more-practical-but-still-a-MINI option...
