Well whatever Clarkson says, it's the opposite of what it should be.

Is it the one where Clarkson buys the S2, and they beat it up ice racing?

Yep, Had not seen that one.

the best one is where he has a turbo fitted with "rocket launchers" that fire big fireworks at various speed traps.

I thought it was John at Vitesse that has a Stg. 2 setup for the 2.5L and Stg. 3 for the 3.0L...

I was as surprised as Clarkson was when I fixed my hatch button by just messing around with it...

Closing the doors and the sunroof pops up is the ice racing one with the glacier blue S2. Tivo'd it just the other day.

Classic stuff!!

Hell, my hatch pops up when I just drive down the street sometimes, let alone when I close the doors...

But that was hilarious when they did do that. I knew exactly why that was funny.

The new Top Gear is a big let down. I don't think they know what a Porsche is.
