Can't attend myself, but could someone ask her what she and the other Driven presenters have against TVRs...

They did a Poxter vs Tamora article where both Pugs broke and had to be pushed into the studio, the crowd (50:50 TVR and Porsche owners) preferred the TVR yet still the presenters were behind the Porsche as the TVR was "unreliable"!

Then they did a driven 100, with as I recall the Z3, Boxter and a Tamora again (I think) where they said they'd rather fly than take it for a long drive and snubbed it for all the usual reasons (ABS, airbags etc.) they also said it wasn't practical when I'd reckon is has better boot space than the 2 others.

Not trying to call P&P here - flame throwers not required

When I did the Top Dog stuff with her, I asked about the decline of Driven and the general trashiness of the last series. She told me that she, Mike and Jason had all hated the way that the program had gone, but'd been left without any choice, which is why it all came to an end I think.

Didn't ask her about any anti-TVR bias I'm afraid, but I guess you never know what internal politics are in action...

Might just be making unfounded excuses for them of course!

...also find out from her how it's possible to get a job as a TV presenter when you're massively annoying & lacking in charisma & talent.

She'd have you for breakfast, boy. There's something wonderfully, subtly, errr dirty about her.

Not everyone likes her style. But there again...not everyone goes for VBH either.

But for the very best of both worlds...Amanda Stretton.

Any of those three would be the last motoring journalists that I'd invite to a TVR do. Especially if they're getting paid for the privilege.

Chances of Penny Mallory having me in any way, shape or form: 0%

Not only is she talentless, bland and irritating, she's fugly too.

Worryingly enough Andi Peters is now a very respected TV exec, last thing I remember he was running the entertainment stuff at channel four as well as having various projects at the beeb.

It was the damn gopher that let him down

I'm just surprised that nobody has latched onto the obvious edit of my post.
