Skylinecrazy, have you noticed how all the other competitors interviewed seem to be much nicer people, and more interested in cars?

I think this is the BBC trying to mix up Gordon Ramsey and Top Gear. And failing...
Have you seen the cars he owns? Surely to have a collection like that you must have a significant interest in cars? Seems like a nice enough guy.

I dont think the narration is doing him any favours though - how many mentions of money? Most uncouth.
i think he comes across as an ok bloke,must be honest i am bloody jealous!

You, sir are as thick as st.

He bought it to live out a child hood dream, as is made apparent in the program.

He's on about selling it on because he can't afford to keep the car.

If you're critical, you should at least have a reason to back your argument up.

No?

I have no idea who the bloke is, and I'm not in the least interested, but I do think this programme is 'showing him in a very poor light' and making him look like a spoilt amateur with more money than sense.

The cars are beautiful, the scenery (and some of the women) even better. But the chef (whoever he is) and the narrator are not coming across well...

I like him, I don't think he comes across as a cock, I do think he comes across as an enthusiast and you can see how totally gutted he is.
He must feel absolutely sick frown

as i said, very strange, like ordering a pizza flying it over from the uk when surely the italians are better at making lol
As an aside, the worst pizza I've ever eaten was in Italy! It was the top of Stelvio and the pizza was still frozen in the middle - hey ho - I guess Stelvio is only just in Italy!

Nothing against the bloke, but I think the programme has been rubbish - there was hardly any coverage of the vast range of great cars taking part!

It's a forum Skyline, if we all agreed it would be a dull old world.

But do calm down mate.
