If anyone does read Audicar ...sorry Autocar; then you will know of this chap.
I do read the dreaded awful rag on occasions (in spite of their pro German car bias)and he knows a lot about cars one buys for less than £1K.
Give him something truly great and he's 'at sea'. He seems to buy and sell 'sheds' and I have no doubt knows a lot about them.
Take everything with a pinch of salt.
Autocar do have a couple of decent journos - Steve Cropley and Matt Prior know their stuff and are largely unbiased (though MP has a leaning towards Porsche at the expense of all else), but both know the motor car inside out. The problem is with the weekly motor mags, they are staffed by young guns who only know and like soul-less cars, the more like autonomous cars the better for them. If the cars have bags of electronics and 'INFOTAIMNENT -overload', they they are great!
Personally my cars are best served without anything with excess buttons, screens or other devices which remove one from the real job of DRIVING.
