They aren't allowed, or weren't when they had the press car.

But for the love of G*d, ditch the non-entity in a reasonably priced car.

I'm (quite a bit!) older than you and I think it's great (even watch most of the repeats on Dave!) I do think however, it should review cars. Don't tell me you're not looking forward to the reviews on the new STi, EVO X and the GTR! Getting the balance right between the slapstick stuff and more "serious" articles is tricky.
Sticking some mega ego in the reasonably priced car is great! I think they should pull someone from the audience and let them have a go? (I'll do it!!)
I do get irritated by the way they deride anyone with a modicom of mechanical knowledge. I think it's a thin cover for the fact that they probably wouldn't recognise an oily bit if it jumped up and bit them on the ****!

PS Meridian - Reading your website, it seems you have a very similar spec. to your STi as I do - also done by Zen. Have you sorted the detting problems out yet?

We do like it.

Have another read mate. Always happens to threads on here. One person takes a point from a post and twists it so everyone else goes super right wing on a point that was never made

Only a couple of people have said it was crap.
