..... once again, it was PERFECT for that task!

This is why I am so VEHEMENT about this way of assessing cars (or ANYTHING for that matter)! The test should NOT be..... "is this car equal to the Veyron?"

The only valid scale is to see if it does the job well that it was MEANT to do!

Currently, I am incensed by the Mini Cooper S that my nephew is keeping in my barn. The car is SUPPOSED to be a sporting car and all the reviewers say how 'brilliantly' it handles.....

.... Can't they DRIVE????? The damn thing can't stay in a straight LINE! The torque-steer is DREADFUL and the over-wide tyres (in perfect condition) are of such STUPID proportions that it follows even the SLIGHTEST ridge.... even a simple white line on the road HURLS it into the other lane if travelling quickly!

What IS it with these car-journalsists? The clearly don't DRIVE the cars (or they don't drive them WELL). No decent driver on the PLANET could fail to see how BAD this car is!
