It's nice that he(Clarkson) remembers the VR4 fondly

As per this airtrek review by Clarkson
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article885641.ece

"Do you remember the Mitsubishi Gallant VR4? It was astonishing, a blend of handsome styling with explosive turbocharged power and computerised, four-wheel-drive grip. Following enormous pressure Mitsubishi relented and said it would export the car to Britain, but sadly it was out of date and was dropped before the boat docked in Bristol."

From 2003 though. I can just see them doing a mid 90's practical fast car for under 2000 pounds at some point though, a turbo Volvo, VR-4 and a subaru parhaps? May would naturally have the Volvo, not too sure about who would have the sub or the vr-4 though.

Clarkson got a mention in my VR4 brochure circa 1997 - suggesting he liked the car very much.

When did he drive one....any video out there in cyberland????

I think there's an article in these forums someplace. He had a VR-4 longterm loaner car. He liked it a lot, but had a few issues with it like a leaking petrol tank.

I think there was a video of him drivin one , but that was a long time ago ! and my brain can't think if it wasa top gear thing or his motor world ! :thinking:

Not a big fan of Clarksons, but that was nice of him seeing it wasnt big-hatty verron thingy or a lamba 3790gts or a aston cost alot or a ferret 750 (in red).

Yuo mean to say he actual praised a car that the ordinary human being could aford

He said it was fast, really fast, but a bit boring to drive as it was so good and driveable at speed. He fanged it, i cant remeber what show it was on though.

[I-S]

He wrote a review of it in the Times, and liked it a great deal (much more than the EVO).

I can see him having one on a top gear challenge.
