Remember what JC thinks of Car Clubs & internet forums (he detests them). Despite his, & also the Hamster's, love of Land Rovers, I think that any mail to Top Gear should be from the individual with no mention of the Forum.

Yep -no need to mention disco3.co.uk at all ! 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
There doesn't appear to be any rationale behind the placings on the cool wall. Just how JC feels at the time & how controversial he wants to be, I reckon...
The TG web site explains all:
"The cool wall is where Richard and Jeremy place cars according to highly scientific criteria. These criteria are a closely guarded secret but rest assured, they are totally scientific in every way."
Could be worse, JCs own beloved has Ford GT moved from 'Sub Zero' (according the the CoolWall webpage) to 'Uncool' at some stage (from memory, shown during the Koenigsegg CCR bit where supercars are 'Uncool').
Does anyone one else think it's not that weird for the only thing you have in your car is a little brush to dust switches and all the vents symmetrically lined up, and if someone moves them, get angry at them a-la James May?

After all the trouble he had with the Ford GT when he first got it , I'm not surprised he's moved it!Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills

Did anyone else think Top Gear was a bit lame last night?
Apart from Hammond's quote about the Porcine 4x4 being the ugliest 4x4 ever, that is! Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
