Well, you could have posted Clarko's comment...

"In a world obsessed with image, you can’t beat a Porsche. But in a world obsessed with time, a Porsche is a library. A TVR is the internet. And the Noble is broadband"

Hmmm, not EasyNet broadband I hope

....yes, but 3 places down from a Vauxhall Monaro?!?

The best bit is that he prefered the 2.5 to the 3R. Now that makes me happy.

Thats because he could get the 2.5 sideways by throwing it into a corner at rediculous speeds . He was complaining about the 3R because of it's limited slip diff making it more difficult, and meaning he had to go slower into the corner and then stamp onto the loud pedal .

Damm Hi have the LSD in my GTO now so that makes it bottom of the pile again.

So I guess no-one's noticed that the list is simply in order of supposed top speed, then...

I have an LSD in my 2.5, never seems to cause me any problems getting sideways. Perhaps he just needs a few tips..... :-)

Well, yes. It couldn't be any other way. Still at least I don't have an open one at my back end

Well spotted.

Nope

Great car, but ultimatly let down by the lack of power. Even Senna said it could handle "100s more"....

[Mr Noble]

Thats why Type 49 is looking for a Noble.

Strange as he seems to be missing a few that I've seen him drive* on that light entertainment program.








* in the loosest most incompetent sense.

Clarkson is a grade A noob, in his description of the Noble at no.10 he gives Porsche a bit of a verbal beating then sticks one in his list at number 3 (ok its a Carrera GT but its still a porsche) !?

It's a terribly tortured metaphor he uses for the noble description. Still he must do something right as he's got millions and his job seems a complete laugh.
