Ashley,
I had to laugh at the Setright 'Fanboy' comment. Does this make you the LJKS 'Anti-Fanboy'? Do you often revert to mild insult when anyone disagrees with you?
It was you who started the LJKS criticism, yet you seem surprised at the resistance this has met, largely because you refuse to bother providing evidence. We must roll over and accept your wonky opinion. Yes, this has become a pointless discussion because you just keep repeating yourself. You refuse to back-up your opinion, merely revert to hearsay/old wives tales like '
an opinion that is fairly widespread'. Yet hearsay is exactly what you accuse LJKS of reverting to!
For the record, I'm tired of car magazines because the reporters tend to obsess over steering feel (without defining what they deem it to be) and lift-off oversteer (a questionable quality in a car). They like ‘drivers cars’, yet they complain that driver-centric machines like the Caterham 7 are ‘too raw’.
I think your acquaintance Steve Cropley might take exception to your dismissal of car magazines. In defence of the magazines, I don't agree that they merely rewrite the public relations spiel; this is usually perpetrated by local newspapers who appease the local car dealerships. Check out the motoring pages of the Stroud News & Journal as an example.
Using his enthusiasm for 4WS as an example, are you dismissing Setright's opinion of it as nothing but him rewriting
PR? Simply because you do not agree with his opinion of 4WS?
