Just goes to prove that "Men & Motors" isn't worth watching before 10.00pm!

Just goes to show - these programmes are designed for only to be watched if you've got three other things to do at the same time.
I mean would you let the MDF man loose in your house - or Titmarsh out in your garden?

You would think though that they would have presenters who
a) new something about cars and
b) kept their opinions to themselves !

Ah well, as Tim1212UK says, best only change over when "Wobbly bits weekly" starts !

it was just stupid getting him to test drive the Boxster S when all he could afford was the standard
Amen to that. to get all the facts wrong, know nothing about the cars you are testing, and then give the customer a completely different engined/specced/everything'd car to the one he might actually be able to afford to buy ? when reviewing - I think they may well have contracted the disease they call "stupid".

M@verick you're right

But they never seem to compare like with like on that programme
and they often let the guest test drive a model of a car that
is not in his/her price range - like the Boxster, the 2.5 was in his price range but they took him out in an S ?????

Maybe an email to correct their uninformed views:

UCH@granadamedia.com

or sent to:

'Used Car Heaven'
5th Floor Bonded Warehouse
Granada Television
Quay Street
Manchester
M60 9EA

cheers Simon - do you know I may well just be ticked off enough to write a little something to them.

Will have to avoid four letter words tho.
