Well I watched the video before reading any of the comments and I have to say it held my attention to the end, I'm usually interested in what people have to say though.

I think the new RS looks great

She had a look over your site. She liked it but thought if it's going to be aimed at women who don't really care about cars, then it should have more about how practical it is for shopping/kids etc. More about colours and budget too apparently.

i can appreciate that you have an audience though, and potentially quite a large one, as the general public and women in particular are absolutely clueless about cars and do buy them purely on the way they look or how many cupholders it has

you have to explain this 25mph in 2nd gear business though. you don't honestly think that is fast do you?
Have you actually looked at the website - or more importantly, has your girlfriend?

The 25 mph in second was meant as a wind up, a joke. It's obviously the way I tell them! I do love driving fast, and I really enjoyed the power of the RS but think that if I had such a car it would just get me into trouble.

Come to Liverpool with some insurance and you can review my Volvo C30. It's a 58 and has very low mielage. It's all yours. Tis' the best colour too. I have a good idea for your site. You should have a dealer trustworthy section, where you send a Man and a Woman into a showroom to buy a car and see how much more respect the Man is shown. Could also do the same for servicing. You Woman don't wanna' be ripped off now, do you?

Thanks for the offer Benni. Nice idea about dealerships - no surprise that women get a rough deal at garages etc.

I know. My Mother and her Sisters are always getting robbed. Well, until I tell them to ignore them. Kwik fit are the worst for it. Told my Mum she needed 4 new tires, as her car had a joint axel and you need to replace all the tires or something. All the tires were fine, a quick puncture repair was all it needed. Tell your ladies friends to stay away, or at least take some CS gas to wash away the lies. You could also phone dealerships and find out which cars have womanly safety features, like automatic door locking.I activated it on my Mum's, and I feel much easier when she is out. Could have how to guides for each model and so on.

Fair play to Kate to come on over for a chat when we are all being rude about her review. I do kinda feel like my mum just walked in and caught me w*nking though.

Dont blame you for jumping in the RS over the other cars, bet secretly whilst making your review aimed at your viewers, off camera you had it on two wheels whilst flipping the bird at some chav'd up saxo driver!! -please let that be true!!
