Like many on TV car programmes, he believes he is a car nut, whereas the truth is, he's just an opinionated nut awash with prejudice. I suppose we all are to some extent.
But he's out to make Car related television, and controversy gets him publicity. I would have more respect for him if he demonstrated a whisker of hands on ability. Like the amazing restoring team he uses on the antique side.
The likes of Sam Lovegrove on Shed & Buried, who is a real bike nut, show how it should be done. There are too many opinionated car show presenters, and although it's a tough role, a few manage to pull it off, even though the majority are unwatchable.
Just look at some on You Tube to see how bad it can get.
