Wow what a great Top Gear show tonight. The Stig raced a Carrera 2 and then a Carrera 4 round a stadium rally circuit. The 4 was faster but the 2 was more enjoyable to control and nicer to drive. I wish they had used S models though.
Any one see it?

 

DAMN, I miss that show, AFIW it's been D/C'd here. I'll have to wait for Coochas to add it to his site, Get to work Coochas

 

I'm working on it already,...haven't seen it yet. I have a bunch of vids in production for viewing soon.
Thanks for posting Persuader!

 

Let us know when its up....I love Top Gear I just can't get enough of it.

 

its very entertaining for sure....the english humor is a nice added touch...hopefully we will get it back on cable in the states...given all the garage thats on and all the hours of programing needed, i will be suprised if nobody picks up on us cable...

 

Having a "4" I'd love to see it too Coochas.
Thanks in advance,
Don

 

Cool downloading it now via bit torrent!!

 

Yes I saw the show too last night in UK.... Very interesting. I think what came out of it is that they are both great cars!! James and Richard (2 of the presenters) described the 997 as their favourite sports car (quite right too!) Interestingly, Jeremy Clarkson skirted over the issue very quickly and went back to talking about the awesome £850,000 Bugati he had driven across Europe.

Try to see Top Gear if you can!

 

Watched it, to bad they didn't do a powerlap with it or go into any of the details when they did the race.
Half a second quicker around a 1 km track is pretty good. Would have liked to compare a lap around with psm off vs on.

 

E-mailed top gear folk last month re USA rebroadcast. They claim show is not dc'd but merely between seasons. They "thought" show should return to the states in December. I woulda thought they'd be more definitive. Keep your fingers crossed.

J.Clarkson hates Porsches,.....he is open about it.

 

Coochas Productions proudly presents the 12/11/05 Top Gear Carrera 2 vs Carrera 4 video - as requested by popular demand. ENJOY.

File is about 26 MB and about 3.5 mins.

Clip is at the end of the 997 section.

Commentary: An interesting piece but as pointed out above, Jeremy suddenly cuts off the discussion to talk more about that Bugatti thing...this is where the video clip ends. I think a better demonstration of AWD would be to drive a road circuit that has been hosed down.

I'll be adding 2 Cayman vids, 2 997 vids from Motorweek and the famous Paris based "Rendezvous" vid to my site in the near future.

And oh yeah,...I LOVE MY NEW CAR !!!!!!

 

Go Coochas go, go, go!!! Thanks dude, you rule.

 

Awesome Coochas,...thanks a million....You'DaMan. Congrats on your new ride , you are tempting me to put some snows and enjoy it in winter I waited for my first Porsche for about 15 yrs., and I am unable to drive it in snow. I even let all my friends drive it in summer, so I am not overly attached, but It's a mental thing.

P.S: I have to wait till I get home to view the video though.

 

I just received my rears today making it a total of four now!!! I'll be strapping them on next weekend and then waiting for the white stuff,...full report will follow!
