lets just say they do not seem to have a lot of luck with their vehicles, but the issues does help drive traffic to
their channel (excuse the pun ) yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

They are buying far more cars than the average person, so maybe it shows what a war zone it actually is and the lucky ones are those that manage to navigate it without any major issues?

Not sure if that was aimed at me. My point was that after 5 1/2 minutes he still hadn’t said what the issue with the Raptor was. I gave up after that. All he’d waffled on about was his interaction with different dealerships and their sales techniques when he was in the buying process. We’ve all been there - and I don’t think that was meant to be the point of the video. MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER MY17 3.0D R-SPORT F-PACE |

But it also shows that even they, with all their car buying experience, still fall into the shiny new car trap loads of us can fall into without being extremely careful.......... like looking over the vehicle in depth before handing over the dosh. It is hard not to want to get into your lovely new car and get out of the salesman’s grip and drive off over the horizon.

its called padding - and I hate it! TV companies do it all the time too, especially with quiz shows - the worst being Pointless (where there's about 90 seconds of actual action padded out to nearly 30 minutes)
Yup! And whilst imagining his facial expressions "...brownnnnnn back passijjjjj" (with quizzical raised eyebrow) Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history) |
