He might be speaking shite, but who cares. Its his opinion, and on the internet everyone is allowed to spout shit if they want. It happens all the time. Get over it.
Its late, it's the Internet, and I've read piston heads already

what cars do you deal with to a MUCH higher calibre to an r8 and also why do you think a focus that is common as much and an old evo are so good?

I would hate to think of the insurance issues for what ever Tom does considering his 21/22 as has driven all the top gt cars and super cars around, when I was involved Q GMBH products you had to be 22 or 24 minimum

True. Green is a little bit too much.

When you're surrounded by very special metal then the less special stuff does become a little more average and less interesting.
Just because its not his cup of tea, it doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate it.

we only deal with higher end stuff as the profit margins are alot higher to restore summit like a imp or a triumph or a mg for what we would spend on it to what we would sell it for would be a small profit we make 150k profit on the miura we just sold for example lol do you have a project thread for the imp ill take a look tmoz as im going to bed now lol

Before we get to my expirence, all I asked was how you came to the conclusion the audi r8 was shit compared to the competition
It's like me saying "oh yeah,that Toyota iq, what a piece of shit compared to the others in it's class", the admitting all I did was get the brochures of he competitors and look at the pretty pictures before announcing myself to the Internet as a new Chris Harris etc
