Saw some daft eco bint trying to use this 'news' (i.e. Crysler/Jeeps unreliabilty) as another reason not buy 4x4's on BBC Breakfast news. Watching Quentin Willson shoot her down in flames with some FACTS was a real treat!!!!
Eeyore:
Hmm, of course, the Japanese car makers clearly don't make 4x4s then! :roll: That'll be news to Nissan, Toyota and of course Mazda (but they rebadge others makers 4x4 instead, but you get my point). :lol:
Yet another fine example of people not comprehending what they're reading.
Another great example quoted by the anti's was an Amercian survey that revealed that off-highway vehicles contribute more polltion than the cars on the road in the US. This was mistakingly taken as meaning 'off-road' by some biligerent UK anti-group and their vehement representative. In the States 'off highway' means yellow-goods. Kinda like diggers and dumpers and stuff. Nice one, bunny-hugger. =D>
Mind you it isn't just the anti's. I have two technical papers at work where Brit researchers can't tell the diference between millimeters and mils (thous of an inch)!
Put it down to incompetance rather than malice on her part, she probably isn't all that bright. :wink:
Don't suppose you video'd the interview did you - could do with a giggle!

Classic. She didn't even know what a Merc S-Class was. Funny or what, even Dermot was chuckling to himself. She thought it was a triumph that 4x4 sales had slumped in London by 6%, to which Quentin replied "Range Rover Sport sales are up 66% in the rest of the country"
He's a hero !!!
Eeyore:
Aw, come on! :wink: After a build up like that someone must have this on tape! :lol:
