I assume the owner had a proper handover from Tony a few days before (the car has 150 miles on the clock, so its been driven). But clearly Tony has sorted some incentive for the owner and maybe Joe.

I sure as hell wouldn’t let anyone test drive my car after a couple of days of picking it up!

Even Joe couldn't believe he'd done it!!

Although I think some people are quite sentimental about there cars, and to have a video made of their car could be a nice memento for them.

Having said that they are sometimes a fickle bunch and a car can go from being the greatest thing since sliced bread to mediocre in a very short space of time. I'm therefore always a touch cynical about a glowing review but wouldn't go quite so far as saying I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

You can also get different journalists saying quite different things about the same car so I'd never buy on the basis of reviews alone. Ultimately there's no substitute for having a test drive and forming your own opinion albeit that could be difficult with a car like an M2C as I suspect there aren't many demonstrators available at the moment!

Couldn't agree more. As recently mentioned with the Jaguar XE. It was going to finish off 3 series sale Blah, Blah. Now you never hear much about it.Or see that many on our roads. A least not around here in the South East.
