Hilarious Top Gear episode - The Cheap Porsche

Sorry if this is a repost.

Funny stuff. The guys purchase a Porsche for 1500. Three vids in all. Safe for work.

Is this the one with the 924, 944 and 928? I've seen it and have it on VHS tape someplace. Hilarious.

That 944 was a great find at that price.

Am I missing something here? For @#$% sake just fix the $%#@ leak. Pretty simple thing to do. Makes them look stupid in my opinion.

comical to say the least.
Looks like all three were having a fun time doing this episode.

I was impressed with their wit and interaction. I suspect the cars were picked for their comic appeal for the story. Still, close enough to real to make it funny.

As a vanagon owner, I was pulling for the lowly 924 with the vanagon engine. My old '83 Westy is so reliable its scary.

They performed the same scenario with three Italian "supercars". Equally hilarioius.
