I remember that video "killing a 911" and the quote about the windshield... something like "you don't look through it so much as you wear it like a monocular."
I was at a point in my life where I kind of felt the same way about 911's- so I bought a 997S. After about a week of fretting over the non replaceable IMS/scorched cylinders, I got back into a 911, and was soooooooo happy to have my monocular back!!
I love the British top gear. The chemistry is incredible, it appeals to my wife, her sister, etc.. but after watching every episode 3 times over, it is a bit formulaic. Even in the "how to kill the 911" video- they had pulled the engine, so there is a staged element, but I still enjoy it anyway. They really have gotten to the point where only through Jeremy punching out his producer can they top themselves, because, I bet, that WASN'T staged. I wish them the best of luck!
