I too was smiling from ear to ear, as a great fan of Top Gear for many years now i have always been hanging out to try and get some info on the 944 from them. I was very excited when i finally found this flashback. especially as Tiff used to race them ,and his final comment "I Want One Again" was just priceless considering the sheer amount of cars he has owned and raced
Thanks for the Thanks.

Beamz, another great qoute from the show: "I moved on to what was, undoubtedly, my favorite car of the 80s. This was a Porsche Turbo, but it wasn't the 911. It's the car I miss most, the 944 Turbo. It's good to see one again."

Wachuko, good news! 5th Gear comes on again at 1:00 a.m. EST. Hopefully, you can catch it, or at least record it.

Yeah they show it a few hours later again if you missed it earlier. They do that every week. Every monday if you miss it the first time you can catch it again. Next week will be the third week it's aired on speed. Hopefully they keep the show for along time. I have alot of older episodes on my computer cause up until this point this was the only way I could get to see the show.

Stoney Brook, close to Waterford Lakes.

I watched the one at 1:00amET... not a good one. I was looking forward to seeing some nice cars/reviews... the only nice car shown was the VW GTI

But nevertheless, nice to know that they have the show every Monday at 9:00

Now I am an even bigger fan of Tiff Needel. I always liked watching him drive but never knew he had such admiration for the 951, I guess he's only human! He's the man.........

Just watched it myself. The volume was really low. I beamed with pride as he talked up the 951. Thanx for the clip (except my kids are singing "Take My Breath Away" off-key!
