    The 928 was always special in Jeremy''s heart. Recalling Clarkson explaining the event regarding the visit to see his dad for the last time.

      If I recall that's where he gained his appreciation for fast cars, cuz without a really fast car he might never have got to say goodbye. I think when he got there his dad passed away only 30 minutes later. I bet the chicken he brought for his ma was still warm

      It's like he was saying near the end of South America about his old teddy bear: "To you, it'd be worthless junk, but to me it's one of my most prized possessions." Sentimentality is a powerful feeling, make no mistake

    According to what Andy Wilman wrote in Top Gear Magazine, this was the very beginning of the cheap car challenge tradition. It was supposed to be a film on how good a cheap Porsche can be, but when Jeremy's car broke down so quickly, Jezza decided that old rubbish breaking down was more fun than new cars working perfectly. Thus, the cheap car challenge was born.

    • @appelpower1
      @appelpower1 8 лет назад +141

      eddie90 Did they do that first? I remember seeing it (although I can't find it anymore), and I rather liked it. Though it perhaps wasn't really a classic cheap car challenge. The cars worked quite well, didn't break down and weren't modified in any way. It was more journalistic and less pure entertainment than this Porsche challenge and all the ones after it...

    • @appelpower1
      @appelpower1 7 лет назад +61

      megaspeed2v2 I do stand by the fact that the 100 quid car challenge was mostly intended to show how good a 100 pound car can be. Maybe that's the difference: the 100 quid challenge was ambitious, but not really rubbish. The cars were really surprisingly good, by some stretch it counts as useful consumer advice.. This one was the first of many to genuinely go by that motto.

    • @RWoody1995

Best they could do is get a set of four tires (maybe). The prices in Canada for everything are of another world. Everything is more expensive here. There's no such thing as a "cheap" car in Canada. A Hyundai Accent starts at $15,000 in Canada.

What car guy out there doesn't want a table in their living room that's the engine block of a 928 with glass on top? Just hope they never watched Top Gear. As cool as it is, that engine was a mechanic's nightmare.
