        <description><![CDATA[Thank you for your insightful comments regarding your unique website.  I am glad your business is highly successful and your chosen web design has served you in a manner which pleases you.My article was not a commentary on the business effectiveness or performance of your site.  No.  In fact I included it on my list due exclusively to the design aesthetics.  As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   And as I beheld your website, I saw no beauty.  I wish you continued success with your website.Yours,Todd Fluhr]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I only ever got to drive them and never own one. Though the Group C 911 that was a company car was quite nice.The reason why so many cars appear to be clones of each other is due to Government Regulation which is effectively Join the Dots to make the external shape of the car and the fact that so many previously separate Car Makers have now been merged. So things like Pug's and Citroens effectively come off the same drawing board and are little more than &quot;Badge Engineering&quot; and most times the same factory door. They are the same car with different badges only difference and even then that's not much of a difference. Part of the reason why New Cars are no longer what they used to be. Government Regulation killed the Car Industry. Col]]></description>

How complicated can this be?I'm glad you are entertained, I quite like the polarising of people.

        <description><![CDATA[The answer is that most people don't know what they want. There are no &quot;unacceptable&quot; cars these days and most people consider alternatives. Actually, many cars are clones and a Peugeot (for example) will be similar to a Citroen etc etc. So, it's worth to force visitors to experience many different car offers.The one thing I do do... which hardly anyone else does... is to &quot;normalise&quot; my deals. I think this is important. So that cars can be compared on level playing fields. Most other competitors have a mix of initial rental terms, hidden fees, they often hide VAT, all in the holy grail of a cheaper headline price. I do not do that. I simply make sure all my deals are comparable.If you are in the market for a new car, I think you will share my feelings. However, if you are just doing a technical critique, you will not. I know which people I am targeting... the real customers.Also, my cars bounce. Important, simple and fun. People love bouncy cars. LingLINGsCARS]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ling Valentine has appeared a couple of times in the UK TV series Dragons' Den and is sort of an iconic figure in the UK for her excentricity but also for her ability to achieve success against all odds. She was able to prove wrong a lot of megastar investors who denied her the investment she was seeking only to find, a couple of years on, that she had gone from strenght to strenght purely on the basis of her incredible belief in herself. That is a very American trait of character, I would think, so I am surprised that so many commentators are ridiculing her website. Maybe they don't know who she is...]]></description>
