Can anyone guess what happened to this car???

[230K]

top gear on 5th gear???????

nope

It looks like it has suffered a light roll, and with the sewerage sign in the background, perhaps it has been driven through a sewerage pipe.

The black vans look too "film production company" to be construction workers.

Top Gear in Belfast drains?

Did the driver drop a pound coin in between the seats ????

Top Gear re-enacting the Mini down the drain stunt done in Hull a few years back?

Twingo migrating to France for the winter?

So they were trying to jump it onto a car ferry ..... they missed , and the turbulence from the ferries props ( which looks like it has been given a handful ) has bashed it all along the bottom of the dock.

Yeh thats it.

They were at the Belfast Sewers Project which is being carried out by a local civil engineering company that i know well.
Interestingly the photo of the Clio trying to make it onto the back of the boat, a younger 230K set out the sheet piles you see under the bankseat and the structure itself around about 1994 not long after graduating.

Top Gear tonight.

Cant wait.

Maybe it's me being over-sensitive, but I can't bear to see perfectly good (despite being a Renault) vehicle damaged for no real purpose. I had to stop watching American Chopper for the same reason...

 

[renault12ts]

It did seem a bit pointless.

You know the advert.

It's Top Gear - they probably fired a shell or a write-off into the drink.

Nothing on Top gear is real - it's all TV.

Looping the pipe? Smoking the pipe, maybe, but otherwise CGI (and not great either, reminded me of that awful "break dancing" Nissan ad)

It was more than likely a pre production car that would have had to be dismantled or crushed after use anyway.
I know this is done at Jaguar and Landrover
