Hi,

Can't fault Jezzas choice of car on the £1500 cheap car challenge. He was very complimentary about the 944 S2 and even set about fixing some of the cars faults.

Only downside was that Hammond felt the need to keep smashing into it in his Datsun!

Regards,

Ben :bounce:

Glad I missed it!

edit. Trouble with them is they don't live in the real world. Hammond bought a cheap car for 11K. Thats Cheap? You could get about 5 944's for that & they would be better!

i watched it too, usually clarkson is anti pork, but was very complimentary about the 944 even though it had 201k on the clock and the body work had seen better days, but it was still beaten in the end by a marina, albeit a marina special

Which goes to show that a cheap S2 is a waste of money. Buy a Marina :lol:
