Why a Porsche?

He kept making the point about it being a german car so why didn't he just use a VW or AUDI.

RIP

Because the 911 became such an iconic symbol of sexy wealth. It is so funny to see a car with such status but ultimately no better a machine than a front engine porsche, dropped on a camper.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. 924 owners unite for a laugh.

That said, it turns the stomach a little to see such blatant waste.

Now that I think about it, why didn’t they do that with a mustang or a camero or some other idiotically popular attempt at a sports car. To see a mustang GT burning in a smashed camper, now that is a great idea.

By the look and sound of things, He was in Great Britain, where Camero's and Mustang's are worth more than old, rather plain 911's. however, I do hope he is recognized and somone who detests waste, pollution ect., sneaks up behind him and gives him a swift kick in the "bum"!

I am shocked that you guys dont know who that is.

He likes the front engine water cooled Porsche, just not the 911s.

That's Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.

Jeremy Clarkson is awesome and so is Top Gear!

I saw that clip a while back, and I must say I like his interpretation of the 911...

If you don't understand top gear please don't take it out of context....its entertainment with cars in, not a serious motoring program!

I think he is quite complimentary about the strength of it though!

OK he wrecked a 911 but there are thousands of them and they get crushed every day so don't get too upset...

I think Jeremy is hilarious! OK, so I don't approve of destroying Porsches, but his line about stuffing all the knobs, buttons and dials in his nose and mouth, sneezing, and coming up with a better layout absolutely had me rolling on the floor!

His episode on the Carrera GT was a masterpiece. He is one-of-a-kind.
