That's Jeremy, he loves to talk smack. He especially loves to make fun of French cars (also French & German people), but what do you expect from a sport car loving Limey when he reviews a Lighting with a aftermarket right hand drive conversion.

As for Fords, he owns a Focus and a Ford GT. In fact, the first Ford GT he got had many electrical problems caused by a 3rd party alarm installer, he gave it back. But after a while, he couldn't resist and got a 2nd Ford GT, which he raves about constantly. So it's no Ford hate from him.

Anyways, here is his review page, and trust me, he picks on a lot of cars...

I like how he puts himself in the "Hollywood elite" crowd..."In this town there's Madonna, Guy Richi, Hugh Grant, Liz Hurley, Kate Winslett, Gweneth Paltro, and..............."ME". He must feel that he's part of a special crowd of people who are far more superior and sophisticated than us dumb Americans. Either he's trying to put himself in a class he doesn't belong, or bring down these people to his level of stupidity. Sounds like a bunch of "anti-american" smack to me....which is probably the same category most of those actors/actresses fall under anyway. What a shmuck.

He basically basehed the truck because it doesn't fit the pompous European way of life. Yeah that's the way to give a review of a vehicle and decide whether it's good or not. Ya know with 2 kids a 2 seater Jag doesn't fit my way of life either, but it sure is one nice looking car and maybe one day after the kids are grown and out of the house I will buy myself one.

What an idiot!

This is not only a truck specific thread, it is Lightning specific and belonged in the Lightning Forum more than here.

They deserved it and you gave it to us in GD instead.
I believe you have cheated them.

Lets see, what do I use to fix those milk top brakes? Oh yeah, a TOOL. That's what I'll use, a TOOL. And, thanks to this video, I just found that lost TOOL. Idiot Brit.

Yea, his opinion is worthless and void, imo. I've seen him twice on TV and turned it both times after watching just a few mintues.

The first time, he was trying to out-manuever an Apache attack helicopter (American made??) in an Lotus Elise with some souped suspension, to which he actually did a pretty good job, in his opinion. He essentially was trying to keep the helicopter from keeping a missle lock on him for very long, but even then, this helicopter could've easily taken him out, had he wanted to do so.

The second time, he was trying to destroy a older model Porsche 911. He very deliberately ran over large objects, test track signs, and eventually into a brick wall, all in an effort to render this Porsche undriveable. Only after he hoisted it about 40 ft. off of the ground with a crane and dropped in on top of a motor home, which subsequently caught fire, did he succeed in killing this Porsche. The man is nuts and thinks a good car can only seat 2 and have that same number of cylinders, I guess. I think he wacky weed a lot, myself...

If he did have the gun rack, he wouldn't have to worry about people "nicking" his groceries as much...

He could have always got the little brother, a 4x4 Ranger. Maybe that would tickle his fancy and fit in the poorly engineered streets and teeny tiny paths plus wouldn't have hurt his pocket book as much as the whopping $30K he was shocked at.

An elite member of society worried about a measly $30 large enough to even mention it as a concern. I dont think so.

Just one more reason to add to my list of why I hate the Britts.

He can take his sophisticated tea and espresso and shove it up hit tight posterior.

When I need firewood, give me an F150 and a chainsaw any day....

There were so many things about that video that just makes me shake my head (including scratching that lightning) but....it was a great video because...



Yee-Haw....I'm glad I'm an American. Give me my gun, boots, truck, country music and freedom.
