samm_cvr6 0 Posted December 5, 2004 yea sounds good. I had a 924 but it wasn't much cop as you probably know. Thought about the 944 before I got the C but unless it's an S2 or Turbo, I'd much rather the C. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 5, 2004 The Porsche challenge was superb! Out of all 3 of them though, the car that James May had was by far the best.. I don't mean from a mechanical point of view but for looks, it won hands down :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted December 5, 2004 Jeremy's 928 was a real shed.... :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffythefirst 0 Posted December 5, 2004 Did anyone catch the advert for BBC radio just before top gear - I'm sure there was a corrado in it. Porsche feature was superb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted December 5, 2004 never really liked the look of the 944, I do like that 928 tho. 5.0 V8! How much would a nice example go for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted December 5, 2004 About 12Grand for a good late one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 5, 2004 No wonder his £1,500 example was completely screwed then.. lol :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted December 5, 2004 No wonder his £1,500 example was completely screwed then.. lol :) late ones are chalk n cheese from the "early" one clarkson had tho.............besides .its a car that you basically need to be able to afford the purchase price(and some) again to maintain properly.......but IMHO a nice sorted late 928 is something to behold.....AWESOME motors........had one overtake me a couple of years back when i was doing 60mph on a country road.......just dissappeared into the horizon before you knew it :twisted: :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 5, 2004 Well it certainly sounded brutal - you could see it round the track that once it got going it wasn't about to slow down any time soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted December 5, 2004 well must admit ive got a bit of a soft spot for the old 924.........even the *cough* "common myth" VW van engine'd one *cough*........twas actually more identical to the old Audi 100 (70's-early 80's)engine......but in detuned form was also used in the VW LT i've in a way got the best of both.........that is the 924's svelte body(so slightly better aerodynamics) and the 944's "proper" PORSCHE engine......in my 924S :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted December 5, 2004 one thing that really i just can't understand is.............the little feature for the new Golf GTI why do VW(UK) still insist on having that silver mk1 with the front GTI badge about 1mile to high up on the grille :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Wasn't there someone on here who said they bumped into May and Hammond at a petrol station, and they were driving two knackered old Porkas :?: Couple of months ago :?: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Another great Top Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted December 6, 2004 yeh that was the cars, and they were on their way brack from brighton down the a3 into central............and there was only 2 of em. I watched top gear, we all though t they might have shown the cars view as we all convoyed for about 200m before i got impatieint and sped off. Shame, i was really hoping they might have shown it. Oh well.. ANd furthermore, im looking out for a 944 for mself to replace the c!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbob1970 0 Posted December 6, 2004 Khurrado, be carefull! A mate of mine bought a 944 Turbo that looked mint, with FSH. Cost him thousands in repairs, just about everything that could go wrong, did. When he finally had it all sorted, he was just so annoyed with the thing, he sold it anyway. He lost several thousand out of the whole experience. :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
