    I tried watching it, I really did. But it's just ridiculuous, the music is pathetic, the editing is awful, those super slo-mo shots are hateful. This could have been brilliant, but it ended up really really rancid.

    I already love it. I personally couldn't care less that the manual is gone. There are quite literally thousands of manual Porsche 911 Turbos out there, if you're so hung up on stirring your own pot and having three pedals, save yourself a pretty penny and buy used. Technology is moving forward, self shifters are

    The red one which had a sudden urge to hump a grass verge was naturally aspirated, it was wearing the trappings of a 935 (flat nose, broad hips, sounds like an old geography teacher I had), however 'twas not a 935, at least in the engine department.

    Now playing

    No chance that rolled Porsche was a 935, the intake trumpets were of an NA car. On a related note, this video features an actual 935 getting somewhat frisky up some hillclimbs. The guy with the Gulf-liveried 911 is also quite talented.

    I love my original Minis, they're both brilliant. However I respectfully submit the Alfa Romeo 145 1.6. Mine is the limited edition 'Junior' version which came with bigger wheels and a nice pair of seats. Yes it's based on a friggin' Fiat Tipo, yes it's assembled with about the same level of care and attention as one

    If someone gets out of their car and starts kicking the shit out of my door I don't just sit there, I put it in gear and get the fuck out of there quick smart, I don't sit there videoing this shit.

    That engine can be made to rev like nothing else I've ever heard. Glorious.

    Smart 3 cylinder. The nature of the 3 cylinder engine and the turbocharger, mixed with the retarded gearbox makes for a very distinct sound combo. Like a wet fart under a humid blanket.

    The Douche is strong in this one...

    Hooray for not putting the sodding E30 M3 on this list. Although I've got to disagree with N° 10. The early six cylinder cars are much sweeter-handling than the V12s and if you can master a Moss gearbox, no manual transmission will ever beat you.

    Fiat Tempra switchgear in a Ferrari 550 Maranello...

    360 and 430 Ferraris sound broken in the lower half of their rev range.

    It's no Lancia Beta HPE, but I still would...

    Why why why did Alfa decide to go with those hideous headlights???

    Pfft. Italians have been doing this for years. Head down to your local scrap yard, find a car of the same make, cut the seatbelt and presto!

    Horn button on the end of the indicator stalk. French designers being different for the sake of being different. Completely counter-intuitive and violently frustrating, not only are you deprived of the therapeutic element of slamming your hand onto the middle of the steering wheel, if you get it wrong instead of

    The FJ driver needs a shoe in the balls, there is no doubt about it. His skateboarder friends also need a kick in the face, however going into a corner on the road that committed on a bike (knee on the deck) is frankly insane.

    I happen to think that it's stunning, what I can't understand however is the stupid square steering wheel.
