On the Dyno.. About 30hp down due to a faulty Knock sensor

The noisy bit.. 5lt V8 320hp (usually)...

Watched the program. Didn't think it was as bad as some of the others they've done...
Having seen some comments on a 928 forum most of the 'problems' are all made up for TV

A friend of mine has a 1978 manual RHD 928 in better nick than the one they started off with .. though if he ever gets it into a state where it moves again I'll be amazed ;D

God that Bernie is annoying though.

It is  :D

Some people in the know have said the program took 3 months not 3 weeks, the painting fiasco was staged. The seats were removed so they could be found. And dust/dirt was thrown over the car to make it look worse..

He was at the Classic Restoration show at the NEC last weekend, too .. I nearly went up to him (well, queued) but figured "Normally I only see you when I'm parked outside your office" would sound weird ... ;D (They film it all just round the corner from my house, literally)
