Ran across this video of someone going through extraordinary steps in order to destroy a 911. I guess it's an SC.

Here's a link to the vid.

How to kill a porsche 911

I beleive that was a topgear video from the UK.
what a shame.
but man can they take a beating!

He's just pissed because his British made MG of the same era died years ago and the Porsche is still running strong. Notice that he had to beat the crap out of the 911 to kill it where as all you had to do to kill a british car is drive it for a year or so.

My Dad had a 60MGA, we had to carry tools everywhere we went and every electrical part on the car eventually had to be replaced and it was only 10 at the time.

Ouch! that car seemed to be in pretty decent shape for being so old (long nose=pre 74).
That idiot finally did manage to destroy the car, but it took a vertical drop and an explosion to do it.
Too bad he wasn't in the car!
sick sick sick. I can't imagine the discussion where it was decided to do this.

Lucas must have made those English refrigerators as well, else their beer would be cold.

In his defense, Lucas was quoted as saying "A gentleman doesn't motor about after dark".
Anyone that has owned a British vehicle knows why!

Yep it's from top gear and I believe the guys name is Stig. (?) He's actally quite entertaining. If my memory serves me correctly he is a race car driver-turned automotive columnist. I have a video of him blowing a Ferrari Engine somewhere.

Ducktail, anyone?

I watched the TopGear video on the Ariel Atom recently, thought the guy was hilarious. Until now.

What a shame.

Well, I'm not annoyed, but my car is REALLY pissed off and wants to run over that guy's ***.

Do you talk to your car??

No, the guy in the video is Jeremy Clarkson, the host of Top Gear. The Stig is their test-driver who races all the car around the makeshift track and obtains the times that go on their board in the studio.

Check out what he did to this poor toyota hilux here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/

There's also a race between him in a DB9 and a some associates on a super train from britain to monte carlo.

Somewhere there's a clip of him test driving a newer porsche - I can't remember the model but he gets the thing airborne in one part of the video. I'll see if I can find it.

I agree, but I feel a little safer now. I do intend to avoid smashing into travel trailers with lit stoves however.

He does a 30 minute show (Topgear) for the BBC each week. Usually does two car reviews in each show and doesn't pull any punches on how he feels about them. (no matter where they are from) It's very entertaining, never saw him trash stuff before though. Tough car though, eh?

Jon Sailer

Clarkson tends to destroy an old car in each of his shows. Typical method involved rigged explosions.

Check out Top Gear if you have a chance. It can be seen on the BBC 2 channel or you can download episodes via Bit Torret.

Ironic that they pulled the engine before they dropped it on the camper...
