After a quick answer. Sometime in last series of eiter top gear or fifth gear, they featured a custom off road performance vehicle. The car / jeep thing itself was bright yellow with racing seats and harnesses in it. It was manufactured in britain as a custom vehicle, and their article filmed "the little short spikey haired presenter" ragging it all over the palce (possibly on sand dunes?) shouting "I am the greatest driver."
My question is, can anybody remember the name of the vehicle, or the company that was producing them????
Please help if possible - am after a fast answer.
Cheers,
Dxx

And now he gets to drive all sorts around including ridiculously over power 4X4's. Bet you wished he was known as "mate" instead.

The company (Bowler?) were at Goodwood with the vehicles. I believe you could try out one of their test versions.
