The guy's a buffoon, why would anybody believe what he says/writes.

Entertainment nevertheless and nothing more.

He seems to have caused a bit of a stir Laughing

Interesting, as he hasn’t said anything that hasn’t already been said on here regarding the D5, so not really too sure what part of that article has caused such a dislike of Jeremy Clarkson.

Pretty much. He has that one trait that I wont suffer in any man, that of arrogance.

I have a disco3 partly on the basis of the original review where he drove one up a mountain (leastways, that is why I bought my first D3 back in 2012).

Interestingly, I bought an XK X150 partly because of his review of one:



Also, many many years ago I bought a Jaguar x-type estate based on his review of one:



I still want to punch him in the face for being a cock womble...

Thumbs Up

(PS, I bought a Lexus NX300H as my "every day car". it arrives Friday. Most of the reason for buying that is I think Lexus make the best road-going "SUV" by a country mile. Also, one of my son's works there so have leveraged a difficult-to-refuse deal)

With all that lot dotted around the showroom, who’s going to say, “Mmmm, yes, I’d like the stupid-looking Discovery, please”? ....

Much worse than D5 owners are discovery sport owners who infer ownership of a discovery.

"Yes yes, I have just bought a brand new discovery for my wife"

Errr... no you didn't. You bought a discovery sport, which is a toy, not a real car.

G4 owners are snobs, discovery 3 owners are highly sophisticated, good looking, well rounded individuals with models for wives and 9 inch c...ks

I was joking of course....

G4 owners are odd, FFRR owners are snobs, DS owners should be shot and killed unless they are a SWMBO.
