Jeremy Clarkson goes rallying with modded Evo VII (Top Gear 13x04)

Against the British army. He's actually seem like a pretty good rally driver.

Holy crap, the Trojan looks badass. Who the hell designed the British army vehicles? G.I. Joe toy makers?

And why don't Ford bring the Focus RS here? Makes the Mazdaspeed 3 look bad.

$13,000 for a 2001 Evo VII with some mods? I wouldn't doubt it. If they brought the STI to the US in 2001, it would have gone that price here OR less.
