It really is a bloody terrible show, huh :'(
F'all in the way of actual content, clueless presenters, and it's insulting the sheer number of ads they expect us to sit through...... but I suppose, the commercials give us a welcome break from Glenn Ridge. Then again, a hot-glue enema would be a welcome break from that bloke. I might tune in, too....... bloody maybe :togo: |

Glenn Ridge came to a dealership i was working at to shoot a short segment on the territory, he was really nice in person and helped me shammi down a wet car. I enjoy watching his coverage of Targa but the car show is terrible.

What exactly was that ??
In three minutes, the XR4's biggest selling point for enthusiasts - the handling - only gets one brief mention. How about a track test? Some twisties? Acceleration figures? Or perhaps mention the ride?? No way, it's The Car Show. Let's hear about Parliment house, fizz and dog's balls. Oh, and don't shoot the f'ing monkeys that wrote that, shoot the f'ing blokes who chained 'em to the f'ing typewriters. Woeful. Thanks for posting the link though. |
