I was at the filimg today & in truth there is only a tiny little porker bit in the cool wall segment, I expect a some 911 cab owners might be a bit miffed tho....

had a chat to Clarkson & the little fella (Richard Hammond) ref Porkers and although the little fella is a porker fan & owns an old SC, Clarkson just doesnt like 'em Oh and from an off air bit he is not a fan of the Cayenne either so he is not 100% mad

They stitched the little one up last week, they put his fake 911 on the cool wall in a really bad area way out of his reach, the bit never got to air but was very funny !!

I'd rather got the feeling Clarkson only liked things that were British, broke down regularly or preferably both.
Is it just me or has this series moved further into the 'Max Power' zone - and what about those 'greatest cars' I recon there's only 2 or 3 fit to be on the list! Thank God for the Stig.

As far as JC only liking British things that break down, I beg to differ! During the early nineties when I was in the process of owning a series of Lotus (Loti?), he never had a good word for the mark. The only Esprit he ever liked was the last one I think. Mind you, mine WERE unreliable!!
Don't think he's a big fan of TVR since he owned a Griffith for a while (reliabilty )

...don't think so - he drives a Merc SL55 AMG. Previous car was a Ferrari 355 I believe.
