They discussed it in the news section in 18x4. It was quite clear that Jeremy and James did not care for it. Even Hammond admitted that it lost the 911 magic/feel with the electric steering. Looking forward to the full review though.

Jeremy actualy said love the engine but the steering is rubbish. It will be interesting to see the actual piece on it.

Exactly - the same schtick. Jeremy will drive it - discuss how awful it is - how it's a luxury "koo-pay" with soft steering and this and that...and he'll transition the angle with:
until you hit this button and the devil makes his appearance... Oh My God etc etc etc

It's still entertainment - there is a long list of great cars they disliked and vice versa. I've long since solidified my opinion on the 991 - the conclusion is entirely my own - enhanced by the terror on my passengers faces.

You'll need to first install something to download the torrents with uTorrent is probably the best -
http://www.utorrent.com/
Then you can search for torrents on pirate bay.

Downloading movies here is probably a no-no(they are often monitored and your internet provider might send you a nasty letter), but TV shows like Top Gear are fine I think.
You need to take TG for what it is, a GREAT entertaining show, not a car buying guide.
I may be trolling a bit on this one, but this is what Jeremy does all the time. You can't trust a Merc' lover

Interesting from Jeremy who actually does not perform his stunts himself while Chris Harris -who can be the **** out of a car- was OK with it and found the 991S close to perfection

Nothing is more true! Politically correct kills the concept of the show.
