Yes, it almost makes you nostalgic for those halcyon days. Bimmer came to mind as well, for that matter. Still, nothing like a nutter to get us all going...
Motormojo: Glad to see someone's keeping the Car Chat flag flying. Excellent work...

When the outside temperature rises And the meaning is oh so clear One thousand and one yellow daffodils Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear Are they trying to tell you something You're missing that one final screw You're simply not in the pink my dear To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad I'm going slightly mad It finally happened - happened It finally happened - ooh oh It finally happened I'm slightly mad Oh dear
I'm one card short of a full deck I'm not quite the shilling One wave short of a shipwreck I'm not my usual top billing I'm coming down with a fever I'm really out to sea This kettle is boiling over I think I'm a banana tree Oh dear
I'm going slightly mad I'm going slightly mad It finally happened - happened It finally happened - uh huh It finally happened I'm slightly mad Oh dear
Ooh ooh ah ah Ooh ooh ah ah I'm knitting with only one needle Unravelling fast it's true I'm driving only three wheels these days But my dear how about you
I'm going slightly mad I'm going slightly mad It finally happened It finally happened - oh yes It finally happened I'm slightly mad Just very slightly mad
And there you have it.
Please excuse the digression into melodramatic territory, but his codandchipsness is just hard to fathom. I can live with feverish rants, but the fact that he seems to spend such a considerable amount of time fishing for "facts against JLR" is just so utterly absurd. As is the sense that he seems to be taking the issue so very personal... and that Stanley Kubrick is a "film thing" to him...
Isn't that the man who filmed 'Two Thousand And Whatever', 'Barry Someone' and 'Eyes Wide Anywhere'?
I've said it before, but Car is a relative oasis of reasoned discussion. Even boistrous types like Mr Soprano understand the give and take of debate at heart. But this fanatical need to prove .... what ... combined with endless cut and paste 'facts' that are shifted blatantly around to suit what it would be flattering to call a thesis is infuriating.
I'd rather the man selling knock off trainers returned.
Yeah, he also did "Dr, Like, Weird And Something". With the funny guy who was in that movie with that French rozzer, like the Steve Martin one, just older.
Or he was the guy with that funny cube, like in the 80s.
You know what they say.
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to keep repeating this rather hackneyed aphorism."
But, say what you like about history, it doesn't age.

Codpiece would have been a more appropriate screenname. What a dick.

Areader : For my sins I might have already called him (her/it ?) that already elsewhere.
I do miss the Hyundai guy though. Now he was a proper Shill.
