Default 928 in Canada's Worst Driver 4

Next Monday, season 4 starts and in the previews they showed a 928 as it was in the middle is side swiping an obsticle ......... So looks like it will be one of the training cars.

They could only do a show like this in Canada. Too many people carry guns down there.

That's the 928 she's in!

Just finished watching the segment with the 928...it was painfull to see such a nice looking example being a$$raped by 8 idiots. Looked like an S with an auto, with original paint .My first 928 had the same colour too.

I couldn't watch past when they announced the 928 had the original paint and were scratching it up all to hell.

It was an auto S.

The sad part is that the "rehabilitation centre" is in the town next to mine...less than 20km away. Maybe I shoud contact to show and ask if they have the 928 for sale.

That looks like a cool show. I could see the car in the trailer but the show is 'not available in my region'.

My girlfriend works on that show so I've got the inside scoop.

The car has already been sold.
Some used car company puts a stink bid in for all the cars in a basket.

I was told that they (CWD) paid like 13 for it originally by the guy who did purchasing for the show when the Canadian dollar was at par with the US.

It's a one owner I think! Well loved too.

The purchaser said the Discovery execs wanted a Porsche so I gave him **** for choosing a 928. But looking back I should have sold him mine for that price!

They wanted one that was mechanically sound and I believe it did not let them down during the shoot.

Such a shame.
