Certainly looks like you have had very unfair treatment Kev. It all seems very narrow minded by the OC. I only wish that the PM's you recieved in support were actually posted rather then PM'd on the OC. This way there is more of a fair view rather than one behind closed doors.
They are plenty of cars that are faster than the Z. No need fopr them to throw the rattle out of the pram if they don't like it. Plenty of cars have their own merits which are better than the Z. Personally I do love the Z. Great looks, and handling for the money.
Why dont they ban any post to do with other cars if they're that single minded. Seemed to remember the plenty of praise the Focus STI was given by one member who though it was best thing since sliced bread after selling Z. No ban there.
