When The Guardian Does a RS6 Review...

THIS.

Predicable class war. The irony is that they're staffed by champagne socialists who probably live far from eco-friendly lives themselves.

She loved it but she writes something that the plebs will read, ergo, she has to deride such a luxurious purchase, least she get lynched by the great unwashed. Drench.

Anyway....

Where were we?

In a way it's interesting to read what a non-petrolhead makes of a car we all like. On the other hand, it irks me that a car "review" can be written by someone so clueless! No mention of the engine, gearbox, fuel...very little detail in general. There must be committed motorist journos that'd give their left leg to get this gig at a national newspaper.

Her other "reviews" are pretty comical too.

The Guardian had another car themed article of interest today. Impending carmageddon! Sounds like a really bad max-power type car show!

Some valid points raised.

The point is that there are loads of other magazines and websites who have reviewed the RS6, why would we need another one saying the same thing? The Guardian 'review' is a little bit of light-hearted reading. It's like comparing Top Gear from the 90s - which was a factual car review show - to what it is today.

You bunch of plebs!

Whilst I enjoyed the car review in its quirky Guardianesque way, that article on transport was the exact kind of tree-hugging garbage that reminds me why I don't read the Guardian.

a lack of tact (e.g. "The badge Quattro badge is tacky", ergo "You have no taste", ergo "Your car is <beep>").

WTF is that?

[FaisalJ]

Oh dear god.

The advert is pretty good reading though!


"Fully specked"

"Please note; this is not some cheap replica."

"Fully custom built by Prior Design and featured on there social media accounts "

"Over £16,000 spent on modifications/paint/wheels"

"Car suffered minor front near side damage in 2010....Cat d."

You didn't miss much Ian. Someone asked someone on a date and got turned down so he started
B1tching about it. Lol

I actually thought the article was quite funny and entertaining as a result. It was full of veiled compliments, but compliments nonetheless!

I think you have to appreciate there is no point the Guardian being another car review publication. It's their take on things.

Exactly.

Good job Phil

Question is, was Phil saying he 'hates moderating' or he was 'hate moderating'?

[PhilT]

I hate moderating and any form of administrative overhead.

A bit of both I suspect
