Porsche 4 sale, ex Top Gear

LOL!!!!!!!!

As long as it's not the old Nag of a 928 that Clarkson bought.....

JB

Obviously you didn't watch it then?

As for me, I'm expecting delivery of a new living room suite very soon :-)

Andy, I hope your delivery men take spinach. That coffee table looked a bit heavy.

Stuart

Alloy block, dry, won't weigh much.

I wasn't serious - honest!!

But what a coffee table eh?

I loved the veiled claim that he'd made them himself. He's about as practical as a chocolate teapot.

i'll give you 50p for the gearknob.

But that was the only 'real' Porche, the rest came from off laid Audi coupe projects. The 928 was meant to replace the 'horror' 911 in its days. If the 928 could be restored, that would really be something...

Agreed. I do like the 928, but if not maintained correctly it is be a money-pit. I have worked on 3 which have had cooling system problems caused by lack of correct maintenance resulting in very expensive engine repairs. They are a beast of a car though, and for about £3-4k you can actually get quite a nice one. Restoration of a 1981 like Clarkson's would have been a *costly* exercise. I'd get a 928S or 928S2 personally (and a mortgage for the fuel bills too!).

JB

Ah yes, and I'll bet he never managed to do it in the budget either.

Personally I think you ruined it with that "air scoop".

"Top gear - Getting a bit samey ?

Its the same stories in every show - its just the cars are different

Someone told me that that Sheepdog prog. (remember ?) on BBC had a similar viewing figure to Top gear but was dropped - Top Gear costs a "lot" to make and Old Clarkson gets a huge cut in overseas sales - Good for him, its just a shame innit for everyone else

Perhaps they should have amalgamated the programmes. Imagine Clarkson sent out to fetch some sheep. Come-bye, come-bye. Lay down. Good dog. I think he would look just right for the job.

Is it just me or are most people here not into "Top Gear?" Dare I say I quite like it for the humour.

Tommy (@invalid.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I think your PC clock's out a bit. It seems to think you're posting in

Top Gear got crap and samey at least ten years ago.

Have to agree with you. It's all about Clarkson these days. I used to like Clarkson up until this series of Top Gear. He seems to be going the same way as Chris Evans went with TFI - he even has the same audience of sycophants in the background. it's become less about the cars and more about image and what crazy and outrageous things they can do with the cars. They must have fun doing it, but I'm getting bored.

Also sprach Adrian :-

Just folllowing the car market then.
