    Look at the other vids, he does not like vw merc nissan mazda holden...
    Actually I don't think he likes cars at all.
    He sure does love Hyundai Kia though.....

    That still does not prove he actually likes cars . . . just that he has an unhealthy obsession with whitegoods

    haha.
    As a vw/audi fanboy and diesel lover, you'd think i would treat cadogan with disdain - actually I quite appreciate his humour and his general sentiments.

    He IS over the top a lot of the time, but unlike most soap box spruikers, he has a way with language that I find satisfying, and I must say, to the contrary of some of the sentiment expressed here, he is generally quite factual (if sensationalist). He comes across as someone you could actually have a proper, intelligent argument with, even among all the swearing and hyperbole.

    I think its important (and healthy) to be able to take on board the rantings of someone who can expose ugly truths (even if they may be overstated) and consider them from another perspective. There are a lot of fanboys in the VW scene that will close their ears when someone even hints at anti VW sentiment - and thats sad for everyone

    He is an avid Alfa fan, so obviously is an enthusiast. Similarly loves the WRX. I don't much like his OTT rantings, but he does appreciate a good drivers car.

    I watched one of his videos....once and I think he likes the sound of his own voice. Does anyone know his background? He seems to hate just about every car made.

    He's an entertainer like Jeremy Clarkson. I don't mind it take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the ranting

    I have only ever watched one video so he can say what he likes as far as I am concerned I was just curious as to his background. He actually comes across as someone who has a grudge against the motor industry and he is out to damage it as much as possible. I thought a lot of the industry was doing an alright job at that on its own without his help.

    Joshua Dowling also takes great pride in laying the boot into the Australian car industry. Has been doing so, for a long time now.
