[Shotimes] (OT) British perspective on the new Mustang

[Ian Fisher]

Clarkson is an oddball. Very funny but he makes
completely irrelevant comparisons at times. I have a
video of him comparing an EVO to an economy car. He
starts the EVO in 5th gear and promptly loses to
whatever car he was drag racing. His point was that it
was a dog when off boost. Anyone with a hint of
intelligence can tear that apart; it's a matter of
gearing, not boost. His demonstration can be repeated
in any car, boosted or not. It was just pointless and
stupid. Besides, I've not known EVO's to go "off
boost" very long or often..

He's very funny and entertaining but even his British
audience is highly critical of him. I have an old mag
here that he used to write for that contains letters
to the editor that flame him pretty heavily.
