I'm downloading it now. I've seen one on a 996 before and it was pretty cool.

Its better then kazaalite. If you want it let me know.

That is interesting..I think this is a good quote describing the back seat..

"a back seat that would only suit legless dwarfs"

EDIT: That is the worst Top Gear video in history...

Hey boost. Are you on msn? I can send it thru there no prob. My msn account name is black5gen@hotmail.com

I would take the 924s HANDS DOWN! Screw that mazda, wores fuel econ, slower! uglier! slightly cheaper but whocares! We are comparing a porsche here. I think that guy had a biased opinion towards the mazda.

I thought all 924S were turbo? I noticed that euro version didn't have those nasty rear reflectors.

924 does have a turbo, but it't called
924 Turbo...

I actually enjoy the ones where Valentino Balboni comes out and takes Jeremy Clarkson for a ride in the Lambos...hehe...watching Jeremy nearly **** his pants is great fun!! Of course it looks like Valentino or someone has smacked the rear side of the Diablo in one of those videos.....ouch!

Cheers!

For those of you who are fans of the GPL (Grand Prix Legends) race sim game, there's a homemade version of a Top Gear episode, using the voice-over from the Mclaren F1 episode, but video from the video game with a McLaren '67 F1 car! Very funny!!!

Hey, don't suppose your archives would go back far enough to have any reviews of the 2.0L 924 or the 931 (the REAL 924 Turbo), would they? Was the show around then?

Did anyone notice that the hatch actually opens automatically when the release switch is pressed?
Must be because of the lighter rear spoiler.
Amazing......

Best place for vids is <a href="http://www.racingflix.com" target="_blank">http://www.racingflix.com/home</a>
Go to the videos section and then road tests.
Tiff does a good drive in a GT3 and Twin Turbo along with many other exotics.
Anyone can download, but if you sign up for the premium downloads the download is less than 5 mins no matter how big the file is. I have a DSL connection
