Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson ordered one of the Ford GTs bound for the UK as soon as he heard they were to be so bound. When it arrived, he realized the car had certain disadvantages as per the li'l land of Eng, as it were. Navigating certain bridges and roundabouts in the double-wide GT, Clarkson says, was like running a three-legged race through a tea shop. But that little problem alone isn't why he asked Ford for a refund. After all, the massively powered car was a lifelong dream of his, as well as loads of fun. So what happened? Ready, steady... It was the alarm system. The whole ordeal would be funny, if it wasn't so sad. [Thanks to Daniel, Anthony and Scott for the tip.]
