So Nick you are from the Style over Substance school I see...
I believe in both. Porche doesn't.
Ah come on, you prioritize style over substance. Ferraris are almost disposable - few owners do more than park them in the garage and admire their style. If Ferraris were substantive, you could drive them everyday and not worry about the servicing costs, reliability, etc. that you have to be concerned about. True a Ferrari is cute and pretty but if you drive them too much you might as well throw it away because no one will buy a used high mileage one and they're not capable of lasting 60K, 80K, 100K+ miles like some German cars I know

Are you behind a proxy-cache? some ISP place a proxy-cache between you and the internet to save bandwidth, if so in your case then bittorrent will not work well unless you specify to your bittorrent program setting your real IP so it doesn't get confused with the proxy-caches's IP.

Exactly ,Clarkson has that dry,sarcastic sense of humour that only fellow Englishmen seem to appreciate
Maybe they appreciate this kind of humour because they don't know better...?
BBC Link
Read this article, it might help to understand what I mean.
BTW: I have Fawlty Towers in my DVD collection, I love John Cleese and I don't think it was a good example. But you get the point I guess.

So maybe you enjoy these jokes too
:There was an Irishman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting together in a carriage in a train going through Wales. Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train,there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Irishman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped.
The Englishman was thinking: 'The Irish fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.'
Claudia Schiffer was thinking: 'The English fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Irishman and got slapped for it.'
And the Irishman was thinking: 'This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll make that kissing noise and slap that English bastard again.
------------------
An Englishman, roused by a Scot's scorn of his race, protested that he was born an Englishman and hoped to die an Englishman. "Man," scoffed the Scot, "hiv ye nae ambeetion (Have you no ambition)?"
----------------------------
There was a boy who worked in the produce section of a supermarket in Dublin. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man insisted he only needed half a head. The boy agreed to ask his manager about the matter.
The boy walked into the back room and said: "Hey, boss, there's some [censored] out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." Suddenly, the boy turns to find the man standing right behind him. He quickly added: "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way.
Later, the manager called on the boy and said: "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier. I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out trouble. You think on your feet and we like that around here." The manager continued: "Where are you from son?"
The boy replied: "England, sir."
"Oh, really? Why did you leave England?" asked the manager.
"They're all just whores and cricket players up there!" said the boy.
"My wife is from England!" exclaimed the manager.
"Oh, really!" said the boy. "Which team did she play for?"
