Great Video, makes a change to see him actually driving a car in a straight line!!!

Any idea when this was shown on TV?

It's an old one.

Apparently, they blew the engine on that car and Top Gear/the BBC ended up paying to have it rebuilt at massive expense. I saw the car at Indianapolis corner at Le Mans on the Friday morning a couple of years in succession. Awesome piece of kit.

He did have an "issue" I think with an engine going west after a journalist used one of his cars once....

I have that video in full - and the car is introduced as a Gembella turbo conversion, based on a 993 RS.

So i've heard, and then apparently TopGear had to pay for a huge rebuild! Still one of my all time favourite GT2s.

If it is Flamespitter's, it has had some serious wedge spent on it. A 15 grand intercooler I believe. No cost-cutting at all. Miles better than when it started as a Gembella.

Yep, Gemballa seem to just do it for the looks. Didn't a guy from The Prodigy own it before as a Gemballa?

Just noticed this topic 8 months late....
Update on the car;

Replaced the 'waste of time' 935 wing mirrors with standard ones.Quite a big job as meant a lot of plastic surgery on the kevlar doors, and opportunity for new sliding windows to replace the tiny ones on the car.

Removed more Gemballa logos, they seem to crop up every where on the car.Just when I think they have all gone someone spots another one....


Installed replacement rear macralon window as a test pilot pal blew out the old one at Elvington pre loony noisy neighbour problems.

Was tempted to accept invitation to Anglesey track day couple of weeks ago(done a few track days on old circuit, was great even then....), but become a 'Karting Dad' this January ,(sympathies please ,not congratulations)so weekends are spent spannering and hanging around with the dads of the next Lewis Hamilton wannabies.
