There are so many topics that could be included, it would be a pointless list.

Nice shimmy.

Don't you start. 😀

I like good motoring journalism.
There's a lot of it about.

Have a look at Car magazine for a few examples of how to do it properly.
TG obviously have, as they initially ripped off the contents wholesale when the show returned.

Or you can source info from the internet with every single car available reviewed in extreme detail by multiple reviewers. In both text and video formats, with stacks of images thrown in.

And there we have it. A sensible comment! 😀

It's much like bike magazines. Stopped buying them years ago, as I can get all I need online.

Ditto car stuff. If I wanted to read/see a serious test of a car, perhaps one I might consider buying, I can find all that very easily. Hell, I may even start a thread on here asking for further opinion.

I very much doubt that anyone on here could give me a nice run down of what it's like driving a Veyron at full chat, or schlepping across the Okvango (spl?) in a W123 with the doors off, etc.

It's entertainment. It may not be to everyone's taste, but then the same applies to almost any genre of entertainment.

I don't watch TV for things I can READ.

So what do you watch then?

Do you read any other posts other than the ones you agree with?

Yeh, but most of yours come across as whiny so they havent sunk in.

😀
Very good.
I find most of the pro TG posts simplistic and childish, but it's good to talk, isn't it?

I thought it was something to do with Eton.

I reckon the "haters" just want it to be better

Simple really.

I just want a fun car programme that doesn't make me cringe whenever the presenters are on screen.
