      I can't get over both how bloody pretty that boxter ended up looking, or how nice that Z is. Legit the amount of value you got for your cash on even one of those cars, let alone both, is a fucking anomaly. Very much enjoyed the whole lot, and cheers x

    Those toll roads meant you missed Porlock Hill, the steepest A road in Britain! Would've been fun to see the 350Z test out a lack of ABS going down. On a summer's day, you can smell the woft of burning brakes even on the other side of the village.

You could take a Clio estate and RS drivetrain swap it, or try to do a scrapyard challenge parts bin special version of an RS.

    Used to live near Porlock. Lovely little place, but a bit boring. Also grew up on and around Dartmoor. Seeing that road again near the old Quarry brought back some great memories of going sledding near Princetown. We spent alot of time up on the moors, we were practically raised outside. What a great video, so many memories for me came flooding back. Still local-ish, just been a long long time

    The skidpad was a bit uneducated. The boxter will always be harder to slide because of it's engine placement. A front engined rear drive car is much easier to control than a mid engined rear drive car. The fact Edwin could hold it for so long was quite impressive, especially when you factor in the wheelbase of the boxter is quite short.

I couldn't find numbers for a boxter, but a 911 is around 60% rear / 40% front, which is absolutely terrible! It is pretty insane that they manage to make some of the fastest cars on the planet from such an "unbalanced" platform.
