Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2006-08-04 00:52	Yes, I know there is already one submitted but this is undoubtably one of the most famous Top Gear segments - they test to see if a Toyota Hilux is indestructable or not. And to their amazement, after going through serious punishment and finally becoming victim to a tower block demolition site, it still worked... -- Last edit: 2011-06-24 21:43:22 (G-MANN)

Settpistol ◊ 2007-04-07 07:28	At least now i know what it takes to kill it.
Skid ◊ 2007-08-10 18:41	You can do all this to a Toyota truck and never kill it...or you can just drive it normally for five years and let the rust eat it away.
