Ian, presenting a car video like this and describing the car's performance with "it doesn't set anyone's underwear on fire" without making a face is only possible for an Englishman. This is exactly why I appreciate your videos so much. Compliments on that.

The 'shit the back end's out' to "ahhhh lovely" transition is now a classic channel moment.

Ian, you mentioned a few times at the start the 968 was 2.5 litres. The 968 was always 3.0 litres and at the time was the largest capacity 4 cylinder car engine in production. Handles like a dream with bags of smiles.

The best review of the 968 I’ve seen by far. In depth history , technical analysis and a test drive. Brilliant

It's always a pleasure to listen to Iain explaining how things work, regardless of whether I already knew it or not. The point about reinventing the wheel every time also applies to the Italian car industry. South of the Alps, we could definitely have used more of that patient, methodical refinement approach that has served the Germans so well.

That’s my old car !! Had it for several years , about 2 years ago. It has a fantastic service history and file of work done , it was a bit of a mess when I got it, nice to see my clean engine bay is still shiny😂. I put it through a classic auction and despite the letter from Porsche and a few other bits of proof, the consensus was it actually isn’t a club sport !! It’s just a Sport lux, without a rear wiper, with elec widows and rear seats, it’s right on the change year. I replaced the stickers and rear badge and put black Ppf on the leading edges of the wings and sills to protect against stone chips . Loved that car, used it hard , it drove so well and never let me down. Polished it to death , if I remember right the paint is a bit thin on the front passenger wing and under the door handle . I has the worlds largest 4 cylinder production engine , it’s a 3ltr . <br>Lovely to see it again , gone some great pics of it somewhere . Sorry to say it’s not a true Club Sport , but no one really knows, enjoy it

Classic quote at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY89BMv-VBw&t=1438">23:58</a>, "Porsche really did refine what's basically is a flawed design into something that works superbly". Seems to apply to Porsche's rear-engined 911 design as well.

What a remarkable video, such incredible detail, and spoken with such authority and knowledge of the subject.<br><br>A sight for sore eyes, so many Lambo Murias dotted around the garage, i didn't realise how common a sight on British roads they are, and that pre war Bentley. STUNNING<br>This has to be the best motoring channel out there, cant get enough of it.

A little over 10 years ago a mate purchased a white 968 CS in Sydney ( Australia )( RHD of course) and was very busy with his business at the time. Knowing I was on holidays at the time he asked me if I could fly there and drive the car back to Melbourne for him.<br> I drove from Sydney to Canberra and from there headed up over the Snowy Mountains on the winding mountain roads and back to Melbourne. What a car. Completely in it's element. A trip I will never forget.<br> When I arrived and my mate asked what I thought of the car. I told him it was like driving a full size go-kart.
