I'm glad I don' make my living as a film critic... I feel like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a large HGV
Surprising as it may seem, I was impressed with parts of the DVD. There is little actually wrong with it, apart from the engine noise drowns out some of the speech. I also thought that some external shots of the car during emergency lane changes would have been good. The worst part for me, was the repetition of various scenes throughout. It simply detracts from the overall quality.
Granted there are *some* new topics in here, but much of the content could have been lifted from the previous DVDs. Commentary driving and observation to mention two. For people who have bought all three discs, these areas don't add much. The ESP and emergency lane changing sections, would in my humble opinion, have benefitted from being longer, with external footage to add extra clarity. The effect of the 'Steering' section has already upset one of my RoSPA observers... as I kept reaching past the standard 12 o'clock position using pull/push I must wait until after my test to do that.
As I have previously mentioned, we should be glad that there are people prepared to put the work in to produce such material, and the fact that I intend to own all four DVDs should be testament to that. That you don't have an unlimited budget and resources is also appreciated. I'm looking forward to the next installment, and if I'm not impressed, I'll book a session with bespoke and get you to give me a demo drive, That would no doubt shut me up
Best wishes
