Have you seen the article posted by Tom Evans on MSN UK NEWS on the 21March 07? Mr Evans claims that the FGT is one of the super cars that failed. Mr Evans where the hell do you get your facts from I wonder ? What is your credentials? Have your ever driven the FGT properly?? All I can say to this idiot is that I happen to have a few top supercars which includes the FGT. The new FGT is by far a master piece in every possible way. Mr Evans I'll race you with my FGT any where at any time. May be than you will stop talking from your back side mate.

Well I guess its a complete failure. Ok guys start selling them now before the market for the gt crashes. I'll take them off your hands for a good price.:willy :cheers
Its funny, I have two of the cars on that list, and everytime I take either one them out, I get nothing but compliments.
Ford gt
and the Z8.
Might I add the Z8 has the most beautiful interior on any car, in my opinion.

eheh..yapper with the syringe poetic to my daughter's cat/dog Todd :cheers
As far as the limey bone smoker's remarks, just goes to show that the rising sun fell on the British Empire's foggy gloom almost as long as it took this kook to pull a hemoroid out of his arse on primal FGT issues :thumbsup

Yeah, I've got one.
My GTs and my Z8 are the only cars in my collection that will never be sold. Now if I can just find a good deal on a Testarossa and a Pantera :thumbsup

Well, from reading the article, Tom is dealing with OLD information about the A-arm recall and drained batteries.
From the bio side: Current Car: Peugeot 406 HDi. "I used to have an MX5, honest, but the baby overruled things…" All-time favourite car: Original Jaguar XK8 Convertible. "Still gorgeous, even 10 years after launch. The new one ain't too shabby either…"
The article says "you can email Tom direct on tomev@microsoft.com".
I think somone needs to take Tom for a ride. He also needs to know that when you do research about a topic, you should do some of your own work and not pick up outdated information and erroneous data.
Tom - if your out there - you missed the mark. Go for a ride and then write.
I will wait for your updated article - no apology needed, just set the record straight.
Oh ............. and he owns a Peugeot ........ not that there's anything wrong with that :biggrin (seriously, can't be a snob).

Maybe we can find a package deal - you take those two and I'll take that crappy XJ220 and the Buggati. We'll need to fight for who has to take that POS FGT :rofl

ASGT, I agree with you. Tom needs to do a better job researching his subject matter. For example, Jeremy Clarkson also takes back his GT and praises it on one of his later episodes..a point Tom does not make. As for the quality issues, hell we know it has its share, but they aren't show stoppers as far as I am concerned. Strictly objective observation of course...

Clarkson has some issues with his security system and the car is a failure.
Do I sense a little bit of Euro envy?
There is no car in the world that can be so easily hp upgraded, from 550 to 650 to 750 to 1000. I'm sure that all of the English cars like, like, like, like ahh, ahh, ahh, well something, like well, I can't remember right now, but I'm sure I'll remember later that can match the GT.
Wait for a few months and the GT will beat the Veyron, and any other car in top speed and acceleration. I can go on, maybe later.

"Hi Tom
I was interested to read your article about the 'Top Ten Failed Supercars'.
I am a little unclear how the owner of a 100 BHP diesel Peugeot is qualified to provide a meaningful commentary on supercars. That aside, I'd be interest to know how the GT was a 100% sales success if it is, as you describe, a failed supercar. It was a limited production run, low volume, handbuilt car that sold out. Used examples are in very short supply and, of course, retain their full value, I don't expect this will be the case for long and that higher than original pricing will happen - a classic supply and demand curve.
Most owners aren't selling - despite the offers. I wonder why?!
If I ever find that I need to research the purchase of a car for my elderly mother - I'll be sure to check out your editorial. Research for my personal cars will probably involve reading something from a more knowledgeable source.
