The chicken was still warm, and that's all that matters when talking about the 928

Quick, Jamie, to the Backmobile!

The specific model of sports car? A Porsche 928.

Thank you glorious people behind this channel, this is our childhood.

Meanwhile in 2020+: A 3D printer costs around 400 bucks. Can do everything you would have wanted it to. Good to know, technology has improved.

If only there was some kind of extremely simple aerodynamic effect that should have been obvious from the very first test set-up for the surfboard myth, such as if a foam board sent horizontally at high speed with a nose pointing down might perchance nose down in flight.

According to Jeremy Clarkson, the 928 is an allright car. I'll take the man's word.

21:34 OMG how cute is that helicopter recording an areal shot.

A free surf bord on a car it a big neglect!

Cant describe how happy I am that the series is coming on youtube. <3

Woah that's an early 3D printer, not seen any of that kind in a while

About surfboard myth - items flying without propellant will fall to earth at same rate as dropping them straight down. So for surfboard to fly flat straight into the other car's windshield (which seems to be about 8m away) and not drop down, the inital car would have to be going at about 160MPH

For the Porsche, they had to seal the fenders as the air getting in was making the body act like a parachute which made the aerodynamics worse

Not having arch liners in the reversed build wouldn't help aerodynamics

If you use an antique hardwood surf board on the other hand that myth works fine.  That's not what they used in the movie so this isn't a complaint, but rather the source of where someone might have gotten the idea that this might be plausible back in the 1980s

The 928 was always one of my favourite Porsches along with the 944.  Maybe it's just me but it seemed like Jamie and especially Adam were trying their darnedest to confirm this myth.

29:02 spoken like a true engineer 🫡

In the last test the windshield didnt stopped the surf board, but the metal part that was attached to the string hit the roof of the car

I feel like they should have tested the surf board myth with an older style wind screen. That movie was pretty old even at the time of filming. Windshields may not have been as strong or reliable at that time.

31:31  "Hooper" starring Burt Reynolds, has a Chevy pickup flipped around backward. There's five minutes of the movie for ya.
