Default Motorweek guy loves the 928 - video

Not sure if this has been posted before. But it's a quick vid of John Davis, the Motorweek guy, declaring the 928 his favorite car ever tested.

Cool!

It has been around before - and of course this was a very long time ago now...

As we know Clarkson likes them too.

Figured it must have been on here at some point. Didn't find it in a quick search. But still pretty cool.

Yup also aware of Clarkson's compliments.

Thx!
Was actually talking about the GTS video Clarkson did.
Seems they've pulled all links to it.

Not sure who I mean by "They"....

I noticed the Top Gear GTS video vanished about 2-3 months ago.

I have that video saved to my computer. If any of you would like it, send me a pm with your email and I'll attach it!

There used to be a period review of an 1985 928S from motorweek on youtube as well, which seems to have disappeared.

Looks like the BBC is issuing DCMA takedown notices to all the sites that allowed access to the Clarkson GTS review. I haven't found it anywhere. Not on BBC's site, etc.

We should all send them hate mail. If they're going to issue takedowns they should at least make their content available on their own sites.

As I've read before, it seems fashionable nowadays for media outlets to complain about internet piracy while not offering their content online. TDB as far as I'm concerned, if they want to be a-holes, I'm happy to join in.

Yup. I'm all for intellectual property protection, but if you've got content you should make it available either with advertising or at a reasonable price or waive rights to DCMA takedown.

The same goes for 'Americanized' versions of ROW shows. Make the 'real' one available or get torrent'd and lose your rights.

An informative video.

Paul Champagne gets a mention at the 8:35 mark.
