I had been searching for a video of Jeremy Clarkson's original review of the 1994 Fiat Coupe 16VT. Forum member kaci pointed me in the direction of a Bulgarian video sharing site, so thank you so much to him. I corrected the aspect ratio and have uploaded it to YouTube, one of the major reasons being I couldn't get the Bulgarian site to work with Google Chrome. Anyway, I hope this will help it survive the test of time.

Well done Blaize.
What the hell is Clarkson on about? accidentally sounding the horn on the badly designed steering wheel?
Don't think I've ever done that!
I'm outraged!!!

Actually finding the horn when you need it is the problem...

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

License plate bulbs were blowing since the 90s. Makes me feel much better.

That makes me so mad!!! When you feel the need to respond with a firm beep of the horn and you're left just groping around the wheel... usually around a bend.

Standard Italian technique is to always drive with 1 finger on the horn button. Surprised its not in the owners manual smile

I couldn't give a rat's ass what Clarkson says about cars. I just watch the show to look at the cars; scratch that, lately, it's not even about cars really!

Great to see, but I can't help but say I have lost the will to watch top gear!! It's nowhere near what it used to be. In my eyes, a real shame frown
