Sundays Top Gear had a really nice review of the Turbo, done by Clarkson who prefers Ferrari, but gushed all through the review. Best quote was something like "But of course you will have a nice thin wife if you have a Porsche...". After the review Hamster pointed out that Clarkson never drove his Ferrari as he was always scared of it being vandalised, so it stayed in the garage and whenever he DID want to drive it the battery was always flat. The Porsche was a *practical* supercar.

Great video, I didn't think anyone here would care since it's not a road course.
