Link didn't work but the fauly may be at their site. I went to it and it is the slowest b***y site I've visited.

Used to enjoy LJKs stuff, but its always worth taking with a pinch of salt. Consider - does a pinnacle of automotive engineering automatically make it a great car? LJK always seemed to think so, his love of Honda and Citroen was virtually unconditional, despite their often glaringly obvious flaws. Is a car that eats its tyres within 3k miles really the worlds greatest luxury car? That seems like a pretty big usability flaw to me.

LJKS is certainly opinionated, which is probably a good thing anyway!

Always worth a read, because he hails from a time when to know things or to be able to express them was not considered somehow infradig.

Trouble is, I find myself agreeing with him a lot of the time!
