Never heard of this whats it all about eh?

Mr Benevolent

Good stuff!

The guy behind it is Richard Porter. He is a script-writer for Top Gear, writes for EVO magazine and seems a good enough egg apart from a rather OTT middle-Englander dislike of Fernando Alonso since the big row with McLaren/Lewis Hamilton.

He's also part of the Gareth Jones on Speed podcast, bits of which are very good (apart from the bits with Gareth Jones in it:rolleyes:)

I think he wrote the Top Gear Annual too and he had a few books including the excellent "crap cars"

Check out the old issues, the fake adverts are brilliant.

The-Game

Yeah the Not an Adverts are brilliant!!

I did not know this, thanks!

I really encourage people to look up the Gareth Jones on Speed podcast which Porter takes part in.

Two caveats
- they are mad into motorsport, F1 in particular and it takes up a large part of the show sometimes. They hero-worship Hamilton and DETEST Alonso. Tiresome for non-fans perhaps.
- Jones is an ex-DJ-type and pretty annoying as he insists on shoe-horning in 'songs' he writes about cars, motor industry, F1 whatever... They are grossly unfunny. They're not even bad enough to be good..if you know what I mean...

Despite these caveats, when they are talking cars it's really good:rolleyes:...
