yeah ive sen that video before

I like the authors comments on the video though, about the dancing and the elitism of the piece. I do agree with him. Its not an exciting video but it is still worth the watch.

Nicole, Do you know of any video clips of Clarkson on the 928? I have seen one 3 minute piece in a 5 speed GTS but thats it. I cant find anymore but ive heard that he did a number of pieces on the car either through top gear or some other show before that. Do you know where to find those links?

I just remember one where he compares older exotic cars for a certain price, and picks the 928 GTS.

Nicole, the video that you are thinking of is with Tiff Needell, he is driving a caterham super 7 in the beginning of the episode.

Nicole,
Very interesting article and I like the video. I sent it to a friend who lives in Madrid, and drives a 60s 911. Very cool

That looks like Ron's photo in the article (Butt end)

You might have to go to second page depending on your settings in Youtube. This is direct link:

Oh, you meant Top Gear video where Tiff drives GTS. Its possibly removed from Youtube or named wrong. There is Jeremy Clarkson clip from one of his videos:

I was kinda under the impression that fifth gear was created when tiff left top gear, but i really have no idea

that is entirely possible Ryan, though I know that the episode I speak of was a Fifth gear episode.
