Last summer they, or rather their researchers were asking me if I had a 944 turbo they could buy for filming and I told them a flat no.. Then later I heard they had bought a white 86 turbo not far from me in Poole and then called me asking for advice about why it was suffering so badly with blue smoke from the exhaust... Not sure if this car is the one from Poole, or if they ditched that one and bought another one.
It is a shame the cars Clarkson has killed over the years and how rare or valuable they are now. I remember him dropping a piano on a 911 SC and driving it into a wall back in the late 90's for one of his videos, I think he ended up dropping that one nose first through the roof of a caravan.
If cars have self awarenes, clarkson is probably seen as their antichrist.
I do like watching the show though.
Helped out their researchers several times over the years, yet they never offer me a blooming ticket to watch the filming!

I'm a big fan of Top Gear also and I agree with you that they destroy a lot of nice cars - at least the majority of those are not particularly special although watching James May beat a twin turbo Lotus to death in Patagonia while Clarkson was destroying the 928 was no fun. Can't say I was upset about Hammond's Mach 1 - I never cared much for Mustangs after the '66 fastback - call me old fashioned...

I have to agree... the show has steadily become a caricature of itself & actually seems to have less content each series...

I quite agree but the bad form is in the reveal; like going to watch the Mousetrap and giving away the ending, although unlike the Mousetrap one is not sworn to secrecyORIGINAL: MarkK
The Lotus and 928 destruction was in my eyes very sad thing to watch,they were just too nice,to comment on that as someone that appreciates classic cars is not bad form at all.

Sorry you feel it was bad form of me to post a photograph of the 944 from this Sundays show.
I felt that as the car had been shown on the Top Gear tv trailers screened on the BBC, it would not really be any great surprise for anyone, hence why I posted the picture.
Regards
Ross
