Except for Cat, who is marginally more hirsute and blessed with a more slender frame. But would still be advised to avoid 4Cs or Caymans (Caymen..?).

Although Catman in a Cayman does have a certain ring to it.

Less bald, less short and less chunky? Can we settle on that? I think we need Dorothy to defend himself. @GeoffCapes , where you at, bruv?

Putting his red trousers and yellow shoes as we speak

It's got a great arrrse on it, Andy, that's what I like. Have a look at the new 992 cab as well. Lovely looking thing, sounds like a knackered hairdryer, though. One of them in GTS guide (not released yet) and with the exhaust making actual noise would be spot on.

Any 911 in GTS guise is a ******* and you probably will need get a better all round performance car. Happy medium between the standard car and the hard core GT3.

Next car is mandated to have no roof. I've been told. A GT3 would be out. Mind you, Mrs Crud doesn't like Porkers (she doesn't know why, just doesn't) but did concede that the little 718 is actually bloody good, if a bit ugly in black, black wheels, black innards.

I would have a McLaren 720S......In fact you can get a used one for 170k and still have 80k to spend on some more toys....

These are really starting to grab me. There is an orange one for sale and I’m swooning over it

Yeah, I really like them. A spider would be amazing but they haven't depreciated anything like enough yet.

I find Top Gear to be the biggest b&ll@cks ever. Bunch of idiots. Chris Harris is a Porsche guy. The rest are comedians and Chris Harris falls into the swamp with them. How on earth can any car enthusiast wstch such utter cr@p and rubbish?

Each to their own....I think its friggin brilliant!!...its a great laugh (not a serious car show) and thats all its meant to be.

Its true Chris is taller. However I reckon if I actually let my barnet grow I would actually have more hair than him.
I’ve always had a rugby player build whereas Chris is more of a high jumper!

Just saying......anyone else notice the similarity?

If you have the option, you certainly would!

I’m going to be radical and say I think Paddy McGuinness is also a bit of a secret petrol head as well...

This is said partly as I think it’s true, but also as a desperate attempt to stop all the conversation about how Porkers are such great cars...

Sam McGoo · Feb 25, 2020

Controversially, I really liked the Evans, Le-blanc, Harris lineup as they were all true petrol heads. Yes, it was a bit scripted and wooden to start with as they hadn't fully gelled, but if you look back at early episodes of Clarkson, Hammond, May they were even worse.

I didn't think the new lineup would work very well...........but I love it! Best yet! I have had more laughs out loud this series than I have for about 5 years of previous series.
There's enough car knowledge to keep it interesting, good light entertainment, laughs and good quality film work.

Clarkson, Ham and May have had their day. The grand tour is silly scripted S**t as were their last 2 or 3 years of TG. I still watch GT though because any car show is better than no car show

Stunning Matt....There is a grey one in Chepstow. The owner has all sorts of exotics including a Bugatti EB110 and a Zonda roadster. Was talking to him last year and he said that once you drive a 720S everything else seems pedestrian. He loves it and uses it more than any of his other 5 super cars.

I'm with Adam....The roadster for me ......but wouldn't say no to any of them...

The general view seems to be that from a driving point of view the 720S offers little more than the 650S (just at a £60k premium on used prices). Both are monstrously fast and you just can't use the power. The 570 often wins out as a better car because you can boot it and not be launched straight into prison in sub-3 seconds. Aesthetically, though, I think the 720 looks wonderful, and the interior is fantastic.

I certainly think he is but still doesn't mean I warm to him. Harris is a thorough petrolhead even if he tends to lean towards fast Beetles
