As much as I don't like the fact that someone is putting down America, I have to admit, almost everything he has been on about is a valid point... But I absolutely love it when Jeremy goes on about fat Americans and how American cars can't go around turns properly... And ya can't really take what he says to be serious either... I mean he rips on everyone... My absolute favorite ones are the Sat-Nav in the Mercedes that only goes to Poland :p:p

Where does the fuzzy-headed beanpole get off, dissing on Americans, and stuff??:mad:
:D
You do have to take him with a pinch of salt. He goes on about Ferraris being the best thing since fried bread, and American cars being rubbish, but still he owns one of the new Ford GTs that does about 2 miles per gallon.
And he is not wrong about Sat-Nav. I'll give you a laugh. A bunch of us bikers were in Clare in the West of Ireland. One BMW rider had SatNav, and queried it for a route to Sligo, about 70 miles NW of us. It hummed and whirred and burbled for ages, and eventually came back with a route.
It recommended we travel 120 miles East to Dublin, get a ferry to Liverpool England, travel 100 miles North to Scotland, take the ferry from Stranraer to Larne and Belfast, then drive 110 miles West to Sligo.

:eek:
:D
Needless to say, we thought about it and discussed it for a while, before deciding to take a less scenic and shorter route.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
So we are mildly sceptical about SatNav
