I've been involved in a "debate" today with a bloke who thinks Wheels magazine was biased in 1979, when it failed to award the Car of the Year to the XD Falcon. OK, that's his opinion, but this fool actually believes the former editor and writer, (Peter Robinson, I think), should actually apologise for his bias and mistake, reverse the decision and award the COTY to the XD, 40 years later. He also says the magazine should apologise for awarding COTY to the Camira and some Euro cars. He reckons the Xd was deleted because it only had leaf rear springs, which Wheels heavily criticised at the time, yet the two top sellers in Oz today have the same suspension design.
After about four exchanges, I recognised I was communicating with an f***wit and told him to piss off.
Honestly, 40 years later and he's still aggrieved?
