That was fucking hilarious, loved that and i think one of the better ones. Thought it was funny as fuck when he realised he lost the car

Clarkson annoyed me straight away. Putting down the 911 when once again he has a personal favourite and because of that the other car has to be crap which clearly it wasn't.

Hate Top Gear, no sorry rephrase that, hate Clarkson.

The fact he didn't explain his reasons for hating the Porsche irritated me as well.

I liked the show but he went a bit too far with that IMO

If I was Porsche I would be raging, it's clearly a better car than the Lambo but Clarkson doesn't like it so that instantly makes it crap

so he will drive it like a maniac, make it look hard to drive and complain about it.

So when you put someone behind the wheel who can drive it's a faster car than the Lambo.

Great start to the new series. That white Lambo was outstanding and the lines where as good as usual.

The celeb in the car has to go, it's very dull.

Kind of agree, but Parkinson was quite interesting, and it's better with 1 person.

In what sense? Because Clarkson made it out to be outstanding when in the right hands it isn't as good as the opposition i.e. the 911 GT2.

Or it looks outstanding, which it does but more of a posers car than a drivers car. I know which I'd prefer.
