this review was great. jeremy was a real laugh.
i'd probably take the z4 just to be different. the boxster seems a bit pansy and every man and his dog has an s2000

This was a great clip! The three were an absolute riot! I personally like Richard, and his liad back style of presenting, and I guess mix that with alcohol and Jeremy, it can't get any better.
I can't decide which one I like the best, becuase I like parts of all the cars. I like the sound made by the Z4, and I like the sporty little feel of the S2000, and yet, the Porsche seems to have an all rounder. Oh, well...

Chaos, I know, that's why I used the " " around the word  And yes Pato the Boxster in that pic is in effect compressed, while in all the other screen grabs made by Jabba on the previous format, all was ok

In the UK it's different
Every man and his dog has a Porsche Boxster, Z4's a quite popular but since they are new it'll take a while for them to spread around and S2000's are quite rare

As they said in the review...boxters are for people that cant afford a 911...although I did have a race with a boxter "S" and was quite surprised by its performance...for a little while anyway...
I would take the S2000 its more interesting and unique than the other two and I would love thrashing the shit out of that engine at 9,000 RPM

I didnt think the video was very squished at all. It was a great video too, all those cars were within one second on the test track.

Sorry TT, I misunderstood...but I still get the stretched look, cars way too tall...why the hell does this happen? and why other people have no problems with this....and this only happens to me with the last Top Gear and 5th Gear...the Fast and Furiouos 2 is OK, and the Carrera GT, Enzo, Gallardo vid is OK too...

Just wondering, isn't top gear shown with letterbox (black bar on top and bottom)? At least it's like that when it's being shown on bbc world. Maybe that's why it looks squished cause the letterbox is removed from the video before encoding? Just a guess.

If guys have a squishy vid problem , just change ur resolutions or use a player such as BSplayer and change aspect ratios from 4:3 to 16:9 and vice versa.. it looks fine to me Jabba!
