Those of a Guardian disposition, move along. Nothing to see here.

Jeremy Clarkson Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder review | Driving - Times Online.
Jeremy Clarkson is a hate figure of the Left. Read the linked article to find out why. Here's a short sample to give you a flavour;
It was, I think, the most enjoyable drive of my life: to be in a car that good, with its V10 bark echoing off the limestone and a bit of Steely Dan on the stereo, doing about a million with a man who truly knows what he’s doing at the wheel. This is what those of a Guardian disposition don’t understand: that a car can be a tool but it can also be so much more. It can be a heart-starter, it can be a drug, it can be a piece of art, it can stir your soul and it can get you from Marbella to Ronda before the bar closes.
Truth is, Jeremy is more fully alive than a whole London borough of the miserable little self-satisfied soulless zombies. And he can write better too.
Such people who are their own men are getting rarer these days.

They don't want us to get to Ronda before the bar closes: they want it all to themselves.
And they know it, and they know that we know they know it.
They don't even want us to be in Marbella, be it even the vile place it really is.
They want the car, and the fuel too. For them. we must walk. to the no-smoking-working-people's-rough dive, where State-Beer-Substitute will be rationed and served, on health grounds, for we are their farm-animals. Form a queue outside now.

I loved his Fiesta review last night. Not laughed so much for a long time :)

Hated by socialists because he is a real, unaffected man.

Not just soulless, but also insistent that others should be the same ... whether we like it or not.
