For all you lovers of Pork...

Wasn't the winter storage due to problems with it, hence it being with Porsche for an extended stay?

Don't get me started on this..   Nothing against Chris Harris at all and love his videos/road tests and the manner he conducts them in 
BUT... it amazes me how motor journalists get away with wagging the tails of big power cars on the public road. Top gear is another classic with some of the stuff they get away with (but they are pretty much untouchable with the law it seems  ).
Some of the speeds they get up to on back roads is laughable as well. I remember Chris Harris doing a test on a SL63 AMG a few years back and giving it beans through the first 3 and bit gears on a public A road   Doesn't take a genius to work out that he wasn't doing 60mph and if the Police were to take note it would only take the old time and distance calculations to land him in the proverbial.  

But am I bitter?   Not one bit..

I guess the fact is not all of them do get away with it. A few years ago Evo ran an article about things that had gone wrong on road tests. This mainly comprised of trashing cars, but one story was of an ex-Performance Car journalist who got caught doing big speeds. He had a long ban, but his conviction basically meant he was uninsurable, and his career was effectively wrecked.
