Just watched Top Gear, 1989 Ep 4. Small amount of 300 seen driving, and well worth a watch anyway!

POLICE STOP! 6 last night on some obscure digibox channel.
An old bloke was demonstrating skid control and oversteer in a green 360 gl. Mk2 4 door. On steels. :D

Spotted a 300 on '28 days later' the other day, one of the cars at the petrol station that gets blown up and then later (prob. the same car) at the army checkpoint. Anyone got it on DVD?

Also theres a red one shown twice in 'Clockwise' with John Cleese (1985). In one shot it's skidding to avoid a Ford Cortina if I remember correctly.

A white one was used in Newman and Baddiel in the mid 90's. Part of a sketch where they always say 'there was no need for that to happen' something to do with safety? A car (think it was an escort) goes round corner straight into a white 343 Mk1 breaking the glass of the headlamp. Escort comes off worst though :lol: :lol:
