It's probably a euro thing. OVer here, a 1998 porsche 911 is a 993.

After watching episode four at the end on coming next week they mentioned a Ricky Hatton feater. after watching it on 5 i did not see it so couple of days later watched again, twice on demand 5 and could not find the following two featers high lighted red from the bellow text taken from the demand 5 episode 5 review.

Anyone know what happened to them?!!!!

This time, Tiff and Jason battle it out in another one of their famous dogfights. This time the boys are racing two V8 mega-saloons, the BMW M3 and the Lexus ISF. Jonny helps England’s favourite boxer, Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton, with an unusual request. Ricky’s pride and joy – a beloved Reliant three-wheeler van just like the one used in ‘Only Fools and Horses’ – needs an MOT. Unfortunately the car looks like it is only fit for the scrap yard. Ricky will be heartbroken if he has to say goodbye to his motor. Can Jonny do anything to save it?

The late, great Ayrton Senna once said, “If you think I’m fast, wait until you see my nephew”. Fifth Gear is privileged to introduce Bruno Senna as this week’s special guest presenter. Bruno is on the verge of becoming an F1 driver and is perfectly placed to give the low-down on which four-wheel-drive supercar is the best – the Nissan GT-R or the Porsche 911 Turbo.

Also this time, Tim exposes which dealers are responsible for the biggest rip-offs when it comes to servicing costs. Tom Ford has the only television test of the Dodge Challenger – an American muscle car with 70s styling. And Vicki Butler-Henderson stages a shoot-out between the Vauxhall Astra Nurburgring and the Ford Focus ST.

Acc. to the end of Ep.6 (seems you might be a little out of date) the Only Fools & Horses bit is next week...... maybe some kind of re-edit.

Not bad, but not up to the standard of the last couple of episodes this series.

Low point for me was the celebrity bit. I'm sick of drifting. images/smilies/mad.gif

im still figuring out why the 10 yo carrera is faster. probably the LSD since boxters doesnt have one?
I think maybe its because the Boxter isnt as stiff ( being a convertible ) as a 911, but dont know , could be wrong images/smilies/mrgreen.gif
