All the while the news media keep asking him for opinions by golly is he going to keep giving them. It is very hard to figure out why this happens.

Somehow he has got himself set up as the go to person for any thing to do with motoring for radio stations. Whatever we think of his book or knowledge of cars, he's a clever bugger to be making a crust like this.

or the tv and newspaper people are idiots and I dear say that's probably closer to the truth and hes probably cheap

I'm surprised he's not on here giving his 'pert advice. Mind you there was a time I thought he was posting under 'pert. JOHN!

In the Dog & Lemon guide he is wrong on many occasions about older cars safety specifications, particularly those from the 1980's. It's almost as if he's a parrot for the government's attitude of getting all cars less than 5 years old off the road.
And, he supports 91 Octane fuel, when it is scientifically proven that 95 and above burn cooler and cleaner, and produce far less greenhouse gases than 91.

When I met him, he was driving a beat up old bomb. How ironic, when he is supposed to be a campaigner for road safety.

He isn't the only one wrong about that, ACC's new list of levy bands is even more amusing, well it would be amusing if it wasn't for the fact that some people aren't receiving the discount off license fees that they should be due to vague and inaccurate banding of vehicles, which conflicts with even their default values for a given age of car that's not specifically listed. Some badge engineered cars with same body structure and safety features are even banded differently. But off topic.

Sounds like BS to me. Please provide proof to back up your statement.

My 2012 Ranger is as dangerous (according to the fee's) as a 1976 Bronco - ha ha, what an age we live in

I think that would be more like "SPURT" as that's about all what he says amounts too.

You all sound as bitter as Dave Moore the Fairfax motoring editor. Without naming names he was on radio having a crack at "soundbite experts". Maybe he feels left out.

CMW is a Labour party frontman. Simple to work out why the media goes to him.

I think he might have been, his writings suggest imprisonment in a basement garage in Grey Lynn for ten years and being forced to exclusively work on European cars.
