Bit of an irrelevant video. What was the brief: "Let's get James a passenger with no interest in high performance cars whatsoever"? I don't understand why they didn't put it around the test track, or were they afraid it might beat a Ford?

At least James is capable of carrying on a conversation with his passenger without having to turn and look at them.

i actually found this quite interesting, i have spent a year in uk, i was actually driving my own first car there and when i came back to latvia i was shocked to say the least about how bad and unsafe our road system is, and roadsigns are a part of it - the ones in UK look a bit oldschool but at the same time they are really very easy to understand and those lower case letters do work!

Mr. Dvinell, do you know for sure that they will not put that thing around the track ? What's the deal if it beats a Ford or is beaten by one and what Ford : a Fiesta, Focus or GT maybe ? Do you imply a link btw Ford and TG or is it just a shared admiration of Fords in general ? I am not a Ford guy but you seem like a non-Ford guy which is a shame because it might hinder you to approach those cars without prejudice and admire some of the really beautiful ones like the Focus RS or GT.

TG are Ford biased, for whatever reasons. I do like the Focus RS, which is why I would like to see how something like the Insignia VXR compares. btw, I drive a Vectra VXR, so I do have a bit of an axe to grind, as I thought that review was a bit lacking in balance, too.

Went to Vauxhall yesterday thinking of getting one, but can only afford the diesel 2 litre. But I think there's a lot of car for the money. James don’t listen to the other two, the hairs great. From an old hippy. The music was a bit loud over your voice. Byronfastfinger
