Since I have no idea what you are talking about, perhaps instead of just making insulting comments about me you would explain? Or is that too hard for you?

So, the logic here then is that anything anyone says that you do not understand must, therefore, be 'unbelievably stupid'....'nuff said..



To be clear. It wasn't an insulting comment about 'you' much as you might like to flatter yourself that I'd do such a thing. The smiley indicated that the comment was for a wider audience and also that it was not intended to be personally offensive. Unfortunately you have been offended.

That said 'A bitter, abusive denunciation' seems quite apposite for the particular brand of rude, grumpy and occasionally patronising posts that have been bestowed upon us all of late...

Anyway...back on topic...TG is entertainment first and foremost...the actual useful info it provides on cars or owt else one could write on the back of a fag packet...

We are a few series behind the UK. The last TG we saw was when JC took a Range Rover up a mountain somewhere in Wales and in another I was quite impressed at how much punishment a Toyota pick-up took in one episode from the TG team and was still able to drive after. I almost bought one after seeing that, but after a test-drive, decided the ride was too hard. In my opinion TG is entertainment and does have it's uses. I appreciate not everyone likes JC. At a personal level - he does not freak me out, but then who wants to get personal with the man? Not I... I watch now and again
