[QUOTE="BRIT-LIGHTNING, post: 2557434, member: 32318"] Hello Mates well as they say hindsight is a wonderful thing I SO wished that I'd watched the programme before starting this thread I've just spent an hour swearing and chucking beer cans at my telly :fm: I'm sincerely ashamed to be a countryman of jeremy clarkson, now I know he's known for his "tongue in cheek style" but frankly I found this report insulting to a country that has shown me nothing but kindness and sincere helpfulness in any contact I've had the pre test intro made referance to "the truck that wants to make me sleep with my cousin" when the programme got to the test itself he started off with some stats that the f150 series is the worlds best selling vehicle,bhp,0-60 e.t.c. and then onto the test itself the truck was 2005 registered so I assume it was a 2004 model with a right hand drive conversion ,he made a big issue about the fit of the interior ,gaps in panels etc he did'nt take time to think that was due to the right hand drive conversion job ,then he spent the rest of the test driving around a small village whining about fuel consumption vehicle size and a list of reasons why he thought the f150 series did'nt sell in england and do you know what his conclusion was? well as he put it due to the trucks "barn door engineering" he felt that people in the uk market were "too sophisticated" to buy it ,what an arrogant prick!! his final snide comment was that he thought it was the worst vehicle he had ever driven the test was littered with "clever" stereotypical comments about americans (people I feel proud to call my friends!) so in conclusion I'm sorry to have started this thread and I apologise to any of you who have the missfortune to see the test on telly for my part jeremy better hope and pray he never bumps into me as I'm 6"4' and 20 stone in wieght and I'd like to see the lanky streak of piss tell me that I like to sleep with my cousin! :kaboom: Stay Lucky Brit-Lightning.
