Yep, that one's been around the block a few times. I want to kick that guy's ass and not just for this video.

Hell he could have done that with a Bettle,results the same and the cost would have been less. Dumbass, a long hood to boot. Those things must be cheap across the pond.

This is a clip from an old Top Gear. Jeremy doesn't like Porsches. He drives a Ford- a GT 40. If you look closely at the last shot- the car being dropped from a crane- you will notice that the engine and transmission have been removed. The car was probably a rust bucket that had failed inspection. So they kept the good bits and trashed the rest.

He behaved like a junkie.
Simply a waste and pollution.

That's what I respondet with on youtube video.

+1 to kick that cheap basrtard a$$. He dosn't have a balls to hate to the end. That is why my garage has security code to enter it and I am the only one that knows it. Why? 'cause when my wife starts hating me, last place I want to see her is in garage.

Ahh common , I love that show and actually found that bit quite amusing. Jeremy destroyed a beat up long hood that probably was garbage to begin with. They just spruced it up for the show.

Good Stuff.

I'm not amused at all.

For those of you who don't understand British humor, Jeremy Clarkson is actually tipping his hat to Porsche.

He couldn't kill the car despite all of his efforts. <-- That's the underlying message of that program, IMHO.

How true.

Wouldn't have lasted long if it had been an Aston or Jag.

I fart in Jeremy’s general direction :D

I'd love to smash his teeth in. What an idiot!
Even if it was a beater Porsche, it's still a Porsche nonetheless. Give it the respect it deserves!

Nope, he got rid of that piece of crap after
"the most miserable month's motoring possible"

He has called it "the most unreliable car ever made", due to his never being able to complete a return journey using it

He since bought a Gallardo, and rumours are he sold that one again.. not sure what he has now

I get the underlying message, I just don't like the guy. He annoys the heck out of me, just like Jerry Seinfeld. Flame suit on...

Yup. It's not humor for the uptight. I think he's hilarious, and love Top Gear. As much as he claims to hate Porsche, he always grudgingly gives them respect.

M.D. Holloway 10-15-2008 06:52 AM

I was more upset at the piano getting smashed. The car stood the test and passed. I should show this to my Wife - she thinks the thing is a death trap when actually they are very safe.

pookie 10-15-2008 07:49 AM

If he was really going to kill, he should strapped in a harness bar, harness and taken it out rallying. At least give it a death at speed and not slow death by crane.

Exactly. All the butt-hurt Porsche "connoisseurs" on this forum crack me up...

Yes very amusing, you would almost think the guy destroyed some religious artifact from the dawn of time. Its a car "a damn fine one" there are more of them!! So don't worry guys there's still plenty of longhoods around!
