As many of you know, a trickle charger is designed to keep a battery charged at the same value while not being used over a significant period of time. A trickle charger does not in fact charge a battery. Go figure.
There is some vindication for the TV presenter, as there was a legitimate problem somewhat later with the Cobra alarm system, and periodically activating itself.

You say he is an idiot, but then you say it wasn't his fault? As sameerrao pointed out a trickle charger is supposed to charge your battery, so why wouldn't he be upset when his car's battery was dead after it had been sitting on a trickle charger for a long period? |
whats the point? We all enjoy Jeremy, this is previously unpublished information.
Second, it had not been sitting on a trickle charger, although, he seemed to have one; it was
NOT installed until after Jeremy found the battery dead. Third, the point is, his antics follow him home. I never once say that I don't find him highly entertaining, as I do.

I live in Detroit, Where do you think the guys who built the Ford GT come from
I personally know a few important people who have worked on the Ford GT, GT500, and two yet-to-be announced SVT projects; one of which is equally out of the box as the Ford GT was.

well anyway .. i have a question ..
who cares ?  |
Its to disscredit everything he say so they can use it as an argument when he doesnt say the things they want.... |
Whatever it is worth, I still find some entertaining. It is good entertainment.
If you want unbiased reviews, maybe pick up a car mag that only states the numbers. |
It isn't to discredit him. It is information not published before. I know people who have had repeat interactions with our favorite presenter who have little like of the guy, and have no problem telling why. Do you know people who've met him, talked with him, and gave thier car to him? when you do, then you can write something about that.
Jeremy is thuroughly enjoying, which i even wrote in the first sentence. The story simply suggests that his TV act follows him into his home life. You want to take it as he has no credibillity left at alll, then that's your take, I cannot control your opinions... and you are all reading into it waayyyyyyyyyyy too much.
Oh, and I heard a similar story to what RC had said about his trickle charger experience as well today from a friend with about 8 cars
sad.. trickle charges charge the car over a long period of time hence the then CHARGER .... its a rhetorical name....
