Yep, and it went both ways all be it jaz tended to be not quite so much in your face but he conveyed the message all the same. The man has a reasonable grasp of the English language

Very kind of you but having announced how much I loved my accord euro wagon I dont think I could live up to that.

Just grow some balls Jazz ! You won nothing round here retreating like a french snail.
Cause you going to be attacked when your opinions so one sided and all Japanese vehicles are crap. With well over 70% of the NZ population driving Japanese vehicles course you going to raise some heckles by saying between the lines their choice is poor.
Can only conclude those Europeans cannot be that great if you are not willing to keep putting up a strong debate for them.

+1 internet bullies are cowards. Jazz sometimes got carried away but he mostly had very good advise. Some bullies on here just would not leave him alone. I for one cant wait for him to come back. Hope all is well with you jazz.

Ditto. Let's hope that if he does pop in the cretins will lay off advising him to take his meds, take more meds, change his meds etc That's nasty personal crap.

Yes he is very knowledgeable in his field of expertise, but I still disagree with his suggestions of people who are not 'car people' buying Euro cars over Jappas. They often don't care that a Swift won't handle as well under enthusiastic driving or that under certain conditions, you can achieve slightly better fuel economy from a Fiat. Many people just want a cheap, reliable, safe, fuel efficient run about. Nothing more and nothing less. I hear this on a daily basis.

THAT is beyond a joke. I wouldn't normally resort to this but I'm reporting that post. How DARE you use such profanity in a gentlemans forum.

Its a pity that so many on here are blissfully unaware of what that plank got upto behind the scenes in attempt to slander against some people making a living in this industry!

Yes fair cop. I'd liken the xc70 to a well worn Greek matriarch of a traditional build. Damn comfortable though.

I see resorting to personal insults now are we? I'll have you know I hold the car door open for mrs Kaz. ( So she doesn't scratch the paint on the door handle)

Ok you have made a statement of fact. What exactly was he doing to slander other posters? Where was he doing it? making sweeping generalities like that is unfair without the facts to back it up.

Stupid comment! Cause yo're going to be attacked when your opinions so one sided and all the Euro vehicles are crap. With well over 90% of the Euro population driving European vehicles, course you're going to raise some "Hackles" ( not heckles) by saying . Blah. blah. blah . Can only conclude those Japs cannot be great. blah. blah. blah.
