I read that earlier, but If it was that bad a car why did he keep it for 14years ?

I think he was more peed off at being ripped off by the traders buying it.... £2500 for a D3 HSE with 157k... im sure they are on forecourts for 6-8k so that's a hell of a profit for the cowboy traders.

One born every minute, as they say.

More importantly who the is Dominic Lawson?

It's the same old BS. As already said, he bashes a vehicle he has driven into the ground then says he's not impressed ! What a complete cock.
As for the "Legendary Japanese reliability". This is one of my pet hates. Take a look at ANY Japanese car forum and you'll see just as many owners of these reliable vehicles with just as many breakdowns and failures as anyone else.
This is just a few Toyota/Lexus recalls:

Sep 26, 2007 – US: 55,000 Toyota Camry and ES 350 cars in "all-weather" floor mat recall.[33]
Nov 02, 2009 – US: 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles again recalled due to floor mat problem, this time for all driver's side mats.[5]
Nov 26, 2009 – US: floor mat recall amended to include brake override[4] and increased to 4.2 million vehicles.[citation needed]
Jan 21, 2010 – US: 2.3 million Toyota vehicles recalled due to faulty accelerator pedals[6] (of those, 2.1 million already involved in floor mat recall).[3]
Jan 27, 2010 – US: 1.1 million Toyotas added to amended floor mat recall.[34]
Jan 29, 2010 – Europe, China: 1.8 million Toyotas added to faulty accelerator pedal recall.[7]
Feb 08, 2010 – Worldwide: 436,000 hybrid vehicles in brake recall following 200 reports of Prius brake glitches.[2]
Feb 08, 2010 – US: 7,300 model year 2010 Camry vehicles recalled over potential brake tube problems.[35]
Feb 12, 2010 – US: 8,000 MY 2010 4WD Tacoma pick-up trucks recalled over concerns about possible defective front drive shafts.[36]
Apr 16, 2010 – US: 600,000 MY 1998–2010 Toyota Sienna for possible corrosion of spare tire carrier cable.[37]
Apr 19, 2010 – World: 21,000 MY 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and 13,000 Lexus GX 460 SUV's recalled to reprogram the stability control system.[38][39]
Apr 28, 2010 – US: 50,000 MY 2003 Toyota Sequoia recalled to reprogram the stability control system.[40]
May 21, 2010 – Japan: 4,509, US: 7,000 MY 2010 LS for steering system software update[41]
July 5, 2010 – World: 270,000 Crown and Lexus models for valve springs with potential production issue.[42]
July 29, 2010 – US: 412,000 Avalons and LX 470s for replacement of steering column components.[43]
August 28, 2010 – US & Canada: approximately 1.13 million Toyota Corolla and Toyota Matrix vehicles produced between 2005 and 2008 for Engine Control Modules (ECM) that may have been improperly manufactured.[44]
February 8, 2011 – US: NASA and NHTSA inquiry reveals that there were no electronic faults in Toyota cars that would have caused acceleration issues. However, accelerator pedal entrapments remains a problem.[45]
February 22, 2011 – US: Toyota recalls an additional 2.17 million vehicles for accelerator pedals that become trapped on floor hardware.[46]
I'm sure if I searched other "reliable" Japanese brands, they'd also have tons of recalls, like the Mitsubishi Outlander transmission faults.


Money Scam: Basically hold a bunch of 8 £20 notes in your hand.Make sure 2 notes are actually folded in half. Hold the notes in the right way and you can count off the tops of the notes. You can count 10 notes even though there are only 8.
Ask me how I know .

It’s The Daily Mail, what more were we expecting?!

Silly sod, after counting the cash himself, what hope of a comeback did he have? I’d not have has the cheek to make the phone call.

Not overly impressed with Dominic Lawson - whoever they are .

NO, (you are thinking of Peter Dominic Wine Merchants) Dominic Lawson is the less attractive of the Nigel Lawson family.

Its here I have to admit watching the facial expressions of his sister, Nigella, with the sound down.

WHAT AN ATTRACTIVE AND SENSUAL WOMAN.

When she looks, with those sideways eyes (same as Lady Di did) .......... you would.

Old joke alert. Apparently Salmon Rushdie heard about Nigel Lawson calling his daughter Nigella and thought he might do the same but his wife said that Salmonella didn't sound too good. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
