no but i've got autocars review from a few years ago, they seemed to think it would be better to buy a t5 cd instead of an r!?!

Not sad!! Wondered this aswell!!

I've got the TopGear magazine reviews of T5R and red 855R but no videos :(

I know my red 855R was a press car and I've always wondered if the car in the review and pics is mine!!

Was that the one where he was driving round some sort of quarry with flames stuff?

I remember the line "Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Terminator!"

I do remember on Top Gear a "non-motorist" journo was sent to the states to check the T5 version out and he sent a report back saying it was OK, harsh ride and generally a pretty poor review of it. Clarkson then sent someone who knew about cars back over and then he gave it a proper review! This was a while ago so I might be wrong!
