    Had a 'decent reliable Japanese car' twice, both bored me to tears, first one was a year old, lasted until its first WOF and it went, 15 years later got another, it lasted 3 months.

    Or a wooden Morgan Plus 8.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I reckon somebody in Ford PR got something wrong...

    To give Jeremy that many free shots at Ford is really not very smart. After all, he's not just some faceless consumer.

    I watch Top Gear for entertainment, he is an entertainer. But I would love to see him try to ride a bike. Now that would be entertainment.

    I like his driving style - he's sideways all the time just for the hell of it....nothing better than getting well crossed up - car or bike.

    The GT is still going better than that Merc SL55 AMG he had. Apparently that car spent 65 days off the road in the first 12 months he owned it... almost as bad as my Peugeot...

    The thing about Clarkson is not to believe everything he says. The man is a genius at self-deprecating humour and not telling the world what he really thinks...

    He's no Tiff though, he gets very ragged at times. I think it was Brundle that said he'd never met anyone with Needels car control, in or out of F1.

    He's a bit ragged alright,he can control a slide well,but getting it back under control eludes him,it's always a big wobble snatch.But that's what a modern car with LSD and big fat tyres does - I can happily get an old VN Commodore sideways in the wet and control it with throttle,but later ones with fatter tyres and LSD snap back into traction so fast I damn near get thrown out of the seat,I think they are dangerous,it's not a smooth transistion at all.Kinda like a 2 stroke - they make and break traction several times in a corner,not making it look smooth at all.

    Isn't that The Stig's job to do the proper racey driver stuff? Do we know who Stig2 is btw?
