what an english prick spends the whole time ripping on america and then races cars that are in far different catagories then say look englands better also let him try walking across an intersection like that in jersey rofl "nobody will hit me" yeah good luck

take it easy guy, hes from england, they do cars entirely different.



think about mercedes, bmw, ferrari, lamborghini, (germans, italians, etc)



and they see america as... cavaliers, sunfires, cobalts, grand ams.. oh hang on, chevy has one performance car? the corvette? neat



other countries arent without econoboxes, but our population density versus theirs, we are able to own tons of econoboxes and people are happy.



in england they have taxes if you have your car in the city limits per day. real estate is too valuable. america? tons of room. how many people do you know that own one or more cars?

I agree with him for the most part. Mostly disposable junk. Like a Bic lighter.

but bics are the good lighters its all the others you have to be wary of lol

I would agree on the fact that he has the credentials to critique any vehicle, but I think some of his comments and assessments were a little off because of his personal overall dislike of the greatest country in the world. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif



One thing I thought was funny is how he slammed on the viper so much about having a noisy interior. How many people do you know that own a viper as a daily driver? lol and then comparing it to a ariel atom on the track ... give me a break.



It seemed like he was comparing cars from different classes and of WAY too big price margins. There are a lot of shitty ... and I do emphisize shitty.. european cars.



But overall I still like the show, its a great show. I'll just remember to fly a bigger american flag around the next time I visit England.

but seriously.



He is taking an esclade and trying to go mountain climbing. An H2 would make it up, not an esclade with 22's



its all BS, its so biased it isnt even funny.
