    You know what was already inna Museum? James May's hairstyle.


    Clarkson's jeans too.


    And Hammond's old yellow teeth.

    Most modern museums have interactive displays to engage visitors and stimulate imagination.


    I'd hope this museum would have displays such as Lexus LS400 With Active Trunk-Mounted Paint Squirters and Build-It-Yourself Caterham, maybe a 3D experience of riding cheap motorcycles across Vietnam, or a Create-Your-Own-Cool-Wall (you know... for kids)


    I mean, I don't go to museums just to look at shit, I want to be involved!

    That Hilux is all wrong. First, it's way too new and the paint is shiny. I like my Hiluxes with dull, off-white paint complete with scratches, oxidation, and patina. Second, the gun case. Not a good location. Damn Brits and their no-gun laws. If you're going to have a gun case like that, it should be mounted on the front fender within reach of the passenger so, should you need access to it while crossing the Midlands, you can reach it without having to stop and get out.


    Also, do they have a display of all the people purported to be the Stig?

    I want to see the cheap Porsche challenge cars (928, 944, 924) and the cheap 1970s European supercars challenge cars (Urraco, Merak, Dino).

    I'd go see it. This is shameless commercialism run amok. Clarkson is an arrogant poo-head. But yea, I'd go.
