I thoroughly enjoyed this thread... I'm a huge fan of TopGear, and my DVR is full of episodes broadcast on BBC America. Unfortunately, I had not seen *either" of the episodes posted by John (911SLOW)... Both were entertaining... Thanks.

So Larry - have your summarized in a Rennlist thread your detailed thoughts on all of the Porsches that you have owned (993/RSA/GT3s)? I would be really interested in that review as I look to add more P-Cars to the stable...

Thanks!

I was thinking 1:1x also ... if Stiggy doesn't go off then I am sure Jezzer will, although I would prefer Hammond to review the car, he's not as biased as Jezzer and might actually tell us something interesting about the car instead of JC slagging it off ala his Times column reviews ...

After all we already know the engine is in the back and that he prefers F'cars ...

Much too the chagrin of my better half its my favorite tv show and I regularly delete her "real housewives of xxx" in favor of TG ...

I haven't reviewed my past experiences of all my cars ... but I guess that would be fun ...

I'll start work on that ... it will give me something to do on the plane next week as I fly to Germany for my year dose of "Nordschleife" ...

have you watched the episode where JC tries to pilot the Jag Diesel around the track in less than 10 mins ... and the followup when Sabine tries to do it in a van?

classic ...

good points ... it would be good to see him eat crow etc ... +1 on the C Harris ... I wonder if he will make it to "5th gear" ... if that's even still on ...

thinking Sabine and Vikki Butler Henderson together on their own show!

The only pictures you ll find on the net is with Sabine in uniform maybe a polo shirt and always a car or cage as a backround.
But good idea anyway I dont mind the backround.
