Top Gear finally gets its comeuppance

[chrisv40]

Apart from the X3 & X5 :?

 

[taffy]

And the X6 (which is pants imho and butt ugly too boot)

 

[highlandsflyer]

The X6 has to be one of the ugliest cars on the road, certainly the most dog ugly Bimmer ever.

Clarkson, mark my words, will be eulogising electric cars, or any other type of vehicle, when it looks like the rest of the motoring fraternity are agin him.

Sheep.

 

[Drencrom]

Indeed, along with a praising of many others, no doubt.

yep, BMW, BMW and BMW. Thats about it.
Oh, just remembered, he likes Beemers

Fair enough, thought it was Merc's - I know he's a fanboy for them.

Hates Porsche though, right?

 

[highlandsflyer]

Isn't that more to do with maintaining the faux on screen relationship with his co presenters?

 

[JohnH]

Clarkson claimed to hate French cars, but in another episode said that all small French cars should be "sub-zero" on the cool wall.

He claimed he hated everything about Germany, but owned a Merc SLK at the time.

The man's full of shit, and it escapes from his mouth on a regular basis.

 

[highlandsflyer]

John, will you just climb down off that fence?

As a comedian - crap, as the host of a chat show - crap, as an author - reasonable, if you dig his shtick, as a motoring journalist - once pretty good, nowadays a caricature.

His problem - like many in that line of work, who've become very popular, and then bought into his "act" and hype, which has then empowered him to go beyond what he was actually good it - the sad thing, though? It's to the detriment of what he was actually good at.

Seems destined for pantomime, and if The Fast Show ever comes back, he can replace Paul Whitehouse as Rowley Birkin.

no matter what he is now neil I am laughing at this thread so he is still amusing me in a roundabout way
