In the parking spot that I recall being Richard Hammond's, it appears that a new 991 is now sitting there. Am I right? From last night's Top Gear UK.

 

For God's sake someone keep Clarkson away from that car!!!

 

LOL

 

How does someone from NY get pictures of BBC parking lots? Cool picture BTW.

 

Way cool
+1. Keep Clarkson away from it.

 

Way cool - the M5 and 991, my 2 favourite cars!!

 

saw it on th ep... maybe a review next week

 

It could belong to anyone. There are more than 3 people involved in making the show.

Having said that, I'd be very surprised if they did not test the 991 on the current series. It is too important a car to ignore.

 

I saw it while watching and wondered if Hammond or May had bought a new one. But given that there's a M5 sitting next to it, maybe those are cars that they are in process of reviewing. I certainly don't see how TG can get through this season w/out including these two cars. How many more episodes remaining?

The first episode (Aventador, McLaren) was interesting, but I haven't been too excited about the rest of them. Maybe a 991 review will help save the season from my perspective.

 

I just recalled watching this piece: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/17/j...11-over-richa/ and noted where the 911s were parked. Obviously this doesn't guarantee anything at all about ownership, but I did find it interesting.

 

I watched episodes 18x05 and 18x06 yesterday. The piece on Saab was excellent.

 

They already talked about it in the news section. All three agreed 991 is no longer a true 911 due to electronic steering. They said the magic of 911 has gone. I don't think the first review will be a positive one... Especially from Jeremy.

 

Agreed, I enjoyed it as well. Hope the 991 will receive a worthy review.

 

I think it will. It's a great car. But I bet they will go down the road how it is no longer a true 911 and how the magic has gone...

 

But in the end they'll still love it
