This one didn't make it 30 seconds before he's yapping at someone!
Ditto. He's really annoying. I wonder if it's just his role in the show or is he a genuine asshat.

so suck it.
Thanks for the posts. I did not know such episode exists. Not everyone is glued to the internet keeping track of all posts.
For me, at least, it is a nice gesture and sharing to the 928 community. BTW, does anyone have a link for the 928 GTS road test done by Motorweek back in 1992?

Were these guys really beating on a brake caliper with a 5 lb. sledge?

No. It was probably a metric hammer.

Yeah, just hammer the caliper off....
Watch how they put in the airfilter cartridge upside-down.
Tell me why you can't mechanically open the door when the electrics are off.
I love the bit about reading the electrical schematics

No mention about the timing belt, either.

I thought it was the first priority fix for these cars.

Enjoyed the show though. They seem to have a genuine respect for 928.

Thanks, Bob. Motorweek actually had an extensive test/review in 1992. That 5 minutes clip is nowhere to be found. The clip that is available, the one you posted is an excerpt of that test. Basically it was an answer from John Davis of what his favorite car was.
