There's the crux of the matter.

You don't like his politics and the pair of you have derailed another thread to have a dig at scuffers, this time the flimsy excuse is that someone doesn't like facebook.

That's not SE indeed.

Ever wondered why no one visits this place these days?

I disagree Kenny fwiw, Scuffers had a dig and I was bored of sitting back chewing the popcorn. He reputation proceeds him and leaving it unchecked lets new members think that this sort of behavior is acceptable.

Finding the time seems to be difficult these days.


Anyway, the tgt went very much as anticipated, 3 blokes dicking about with cars. Quite spectacular in bits. Not convinced by the American or new track but will give it a chance.

Still read some hilarious comments from the same people on the internet wanting a serious car review programme. Yeah they are just going give up the format that has made them millions over the last decade discuss the boot size in a Nissan micra :blackeye

I do like the idea of it being international each week, good for their rating and ultimately next years budget. Did they not hint towards some of it being a serious car show now and again as they did in their last BBC series?

Can only be good as the only other automotive things I watch are on Discovery :(

Don't think they said they said it would be any more or less serious but they did openly comment that they would be more free to decide content than they were at the BBC.

Richard Porter's book is quite interesting if anyone has read it. Towards the end of tg when certain people within the BBC were becoming less than impressed with jezza the BBC forced another producer on the team who was essentially a health and safety politically correct watchdog on behalf of the permanently offended. Didn't go down well.

Kenny you tosser, good to see you have found your way out of the mushroom compost in the cellar, and popped up to say hello to your friends again.
