Be fair now.

We are now constantly being informed that times are a changing so if John wants to drive on a corrugated road with a broomstick up his freckle then he is perfectly entitled to do so.

Storm in a teacup for those with common sense.

We also have harvest bans, but cadogan wouldn't know what one was.

Kinda surprising that we have to tell people not to park with long grass under a vehicle,
it's like situational awareness and self preservation has given way to ignorance and displaced responsibility.

Cardogan can rave on all he likes but if someone is that stupid then perhaps they are meant to walk home.

What do you make of this !!!!!!! Could it be a few years ago he waxed lyrical about a Ford product .

Nowadays it's any chance to get stuck into a Ford or Holden product guess who seems to be ready to do so .

I've seen how quick cotton "dust" goes up (lucky it wasn't an explosion) so that makes sense. One stray spark on a hot day in a dry field....

Friend of Josh Dowling?

zipping · 09-04-2018, 09:47 PM

I knew he was a flog but its good to confirm he does have a barrow to push from the knowledgeable posters here. Was wondering what the deal was. Should have just asked, my bad

ebv8 · 10-04-2018, 08:40 AM

he is quick to jump onto ford or holden or vw or merc when they have a safety recal but i can't think of the last time he did a hyundai safety recall
this is the first on the list.... 2017 santa-fe, the steering wheel falls off... where is his rant on that

i've made a point of avoiding him (or down-voting his videos if they come up as 'recommended') ever since he lambasted the Mustang for being a '2-star piece of junk', knowing full well that the new ECAP star rating had just been changed and the new mustang hadn't been re-tested under the new regime. He knew full well that every 2-star car was a 5-star vehicle under the old rating system, but didn't let that get in the way of him putting in negative reviews.

ozrunner · 14-04-2018, 01:40 PM

Agreed and with that he provided concrete evidence of also not establishing the facts before opening his mouth and as such he is no better than the various mainstream motoring journalists that he delights in lampooning.

is that what you took away from that??

the US version has full safety gear, the OZ version was stripped out to save money.

It is shocking that 145k people have subscribed to his Youtube channel.

Caravans must carry a fire extinguisher and have it checked yearly.

Fair dinkum. What happened to this bloke when he was at school? You'd think somebody who has so many issues with cars would work in a field where improvements are made, rather than putting down others manufacturing & design. A massively insecure individual.

Recently he was creaming his undies (perish the thought though) for the I30 N.

His credibility is very questionable to say the least these days .

As for the I 30 N it looks awful , is just marginally faster than a few others but he seems to think it's a great piece of kit . Go figure .
