top gear 911 article
Found this by accident.
A couple errors in it but top gear is about as credible as it gets

I used to be a Top Gear fan back when they were mainly doing supercar driving, but in recent history they lost me. Pretty much when they put the dual wheels on a Corvair to do some track time with it!
I don't know if that started the trend or not, but most of their work now (particularly the U.S. version) falls into the "Hold my beer and watch this!" category. Their particular version of "jumping the shark."

The three are typically pretty good automotive journalists on the site and magazine, but you have to take anything they say on BBC Top Gear with a grain of salt. Just enjoy the show for entertainment.
It's interesting to read James talk about the 911, since Hammond loves it and Clarkson [publically] doesn't.
