Default F50 Review - Original Top Gear
This review was done by Clarkson on the old Top Gear. Overall many of his observations are correct but I don't agree with the conclusion at all.

Of course I do agree with the 355 over the F50 comment

Not really, the comparison makes no sense at all. As is the comment about being too fast & too quick cornering

not my favorite Top Gear test, but still good to watch it again

I guess JC didn't get the message Ferrari was trying to send with the F50

It's an improvement on the David Hasselhoff look, but only just.
