I am happy that some of you rate his opinion, he is a self appointed expert in my book whose ego is carried on his paunch and he is a total irrelevance to me as are his erstwhile cohorts. They live in a vacuum far away from my world gladly and their opinions are for the masses not for those of us that have had years more experience of the real world and the vehicles it has to offer.

Holden Monaro GTS in RSA on dirt roads being the most memorable.
The Ami 8 the most loved and the Reliant Scimitar GTE the most enjoyed at high speed working in Germany.
Many Sierras and Mondeos and the stand out was the Ford Orion 1.6 GL it was a stormer with great handling and left Stornoway at 0500 onto the ferry and back to Stoke Fleming via Bristol Temple Mead by 1800 for the evening meal with the family.
Route taken.There was scant coverage of revenue collectors in those days and it earnt me my company nickname of "low flyer" as they knew my late fathers history as a wartime Spitfire jockey.
The Plus 8 remains top of my tree and the 4/4 Sport a tie with it's lissome handling.
I have never listened to any other persons advise on cars and that won't be changing especially from an oversized spoilt brat who does seem to appeal to the masses of unwashed.
At least he would appear to have seen a chink of light through his Ash chassis and his farm yarding and Blue tongue
