When I heard that the TG and a Lada were being mentioned in the same sentence...I wanted to go and hide behind the sofa. However that would have involved having to move the sofa, and I'm far too lazy for that.

Given the...um...Less than entirely positive way in which they've been portrayed before, I have to admit to being very surprised by this.

It's a pretty honest, and I'd say pretty positive bit of writing. Well done James.

...Just don't let Clarkson near it!
