    Now this is journalism............ and it is amusing too............

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article6585358.ece

    It would be if Clarkson actually wrote his own work. He doesn't, and he didn't write that article either.

    From what i can tell this entire thread is little more than gloating from Jeannie about her son’s car.
    She doesn’t seem too happy that someone else has an RS, and what’s more, doesn’t think it’s that great.
    I don’t know if Dan is a journalist or not, but he certainly knows his stuff about cars. Auto Express mentioned the vents in one of their articles, and it is true. They are fake. look up te reviews, they also mention the fact the engine is from the ST.
    How old is your son? I’m assuming he is living at home, because no doubt his wages for the next 5 years will be spending insuring and paying for his car.

    very true. If he's happy with it then that is enough.

    I am talking about the vents on the bonnet. The ones which should let hot air out of the engine, but don't because they have no mounting holes. Ford have admitted they do nothing. Go out and ask your son to open the bonnet and shoiw you...there are NO holes on the bonnet. So why have air vents?

    Hope this helps.
    But they have! And I have seen them with my own eyes!

    We are talking about the latest RS aren't we? :rolleyes:

    And you have to admit, Clarksons the best. Knows his stuff and knows how to entertain and amuse.

    Now I have a sponging son that lives at home........... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    He has a whacking mortgage and works his butt off, doesn't have debts.

    Not that I should have to justify all that MrsE!!

    Guess some folks are a bit jealous that they can't actually afford a decent car! Where as you, with your Cayenne, don't get criticised.

    Read the Clarkson article - its v funny - he is not keen on the Golf which journalist Dan says is better than the RS.

    Meanwhile, cos I thought that maybe I am going mad - have just been out to the car and you can see straight through the bonnet vents.... what is he going on about???

    Surely he can't really have one if he says that they are fake!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    More research Dan before you will fool anyone - and stop quoting bad clips! Furthermore - if you really stand by this fake vents milarkey - I will take a picture of the very not fake vents and post them on here! And you will look very very silly! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The vents on the bonnet have no holes. Lift the bonnet up and look at it...you'll see no holes...that's because they are noting more than bits of plastic glued on the top.

    Clarkson is very good at what he does, he owns the production comapany which makes Top Gear too.

    take some photos, unless your son has got a box cutter and CUT HOLES IN THE BONNET, you will see they are fake.

    Take a photo of the UNDERSIDE OF THE BONNET...and then explain how there are vents on the top...yet nothing on the underside. How can a hole disapear? :rotfl:

    As said before - just lifted up the bonnet and can see through the vents - what on earth are you going on about? You are a complete nutter or you have a fake RS!!

    And careful about what you say about Clarkson not writing that article - could be viewed as slander.
