Top Gear drove a Discovery up a Scottish mountain, Fifth gear drove a Proton up a cumbrian hill.

@SuicidalLooney Totally agree with you there. There is no point in new cheap cars tbh, they should just drive them round their shitty plastic factory and then sell them for about £500 because compared to other 2nd hand cars you can get for around the same price, they are less appealing than Susan Boyle's hairy gooch.

@blackjesuscracker616 The reality to that comment is some 300 horse power american muscle car would not make it up that hill on a wet road with a heavy front and light back plus rear wheel drive

[blackjesuscracker616]

Euro cars at their finest.

[farizxoxo]

=.= they are comparing how those cars react on load and with high rpm revving

the acceleration and the stability

4x4 or fwd wont make any diff on tarmac road fyi

[djdavedoc]

Stupid idea. They are Cars.... not 4x4s!!!

this is a bit dodgy because it doesn't really show the true character of hardknott - and how many people are going to have gone bezzing up there thinking it's a nice easy jaumt!! That road needs a little bit of respect!
