Man, what show is that from? It's obviously not Top Gear (though it looks to be the same quarry and car-firing mechanism that TG used in their Car Darts segment about 4 seasons ago).

Man that is just awesome!! I think we should do that to Billy's car given his latest problems.

I never knew the antitank round was guided...I can't believe never having fired one before he would be accurate enough to hit a moving target.

It's not like he'd be unwilling to do a more than a few takes to get that direct hit

I know it's Jeremy, I've watched every episode of Top Gear for the past 3 years. But that clip is NOT from Top Gear. I'm wondering what show it is from.
