WHAT A SURPRISE!!!

Boxster first.

I was hoping for a bit more support from VBH, and I DON'T think the car needs to be driven over the speed limit to get fun out of it. There's plenty of laughs VTEC'ing in 2nd and 3rd (and....ahem.....4th)

S sounded good when she was driving it. Boxter is way too dull as regards sound.

Any idea what time? I sat down to watch it on my freeview box (the only way I can get Channel 5) and I got a bad signal message. I saw the first 30 seconds and that was it. I am also going away on Sunday and will have to set the recorder (if the signal is good)


UNLESS

somebody local has recorded it and can loan it (please)

Yep no surprises on the winner.
I agree San2000, I too was hoping for a bit more from VBH and also maybe a top 5.

Difficult to take into account the price differential - I'm sure the Boxster S is a better car but in an equivalent spec to the S costs ~42-44k.

It was still entertaining stuff - I'm hungering from some track day time.
