I would normally bend over backwards to defend Mr C, ........... but after he has just sat there like some smug tw***t defending the german tw***ts actions last weekend I've switched the c**t off and won't be watching ever again.
I actually thought the Mr C was a proper car person but now realise that he is a self publicising tosspot.
God am I pissed off.

Oh! You mean you actually waste good breathing time watching old pillockbrains? TG could be entertaining if it wasnt for the smuggest most selfimportant toss*r on tv spoiling it. just think, if they ditched him and took on Nigel Mansell they could have Nige do the Stig's job too!  (Bill quietly backs off into a safe corner, 'cos he knows just how many JC fans there are out there...) |

Clarkson was good/funny at the time with Wilson, Needell and that bike bloke. Must have all gone wrong when Vicky HB appeared  |

i thought the schumacher incident an monaco was just plain funny!!! and if i was in his situation, i would be pretty damn happy too, for the reasons that i had a)just caused some controversy, and b) that it is causing so much discussion!!
as they say 'no publicity is bad publicity'!!
and the fact that you are boycotting a person because he gave an opinion that you didnt like is really quite amazing!
im not saying that he isnt arrogant or smug, because hes always been like that, and always will

I'm surprised anyone thinks he was being serious. All the TG motoring chat and news is trying to do is to replicate the proverbial "pub conversation".
Clarkson has now given up smoking; yes, he did say non-smokers are cowards, a piece of bravado in which I 'm fairly sure was not to be taken at face value. I had a fag with him last year at the studio and he is indeed a bloody good laugh. He writes great stuff for the Sunday Times (motoring and non-motoring and I for one enjoy his non-politically correct alternative take on life.

Your right Andy his column in The Sunday Times is well worth a read every week.
His book, The World According to Clarkson, is a collection of his articles.
Very funny and very un PC
I reccomend it

I like the bloke, his column in the financial sun on a saturday always brings a smile to my hungover face. i think he says a lot of what we all think sometimes with his non pc speaches.

Top Gear - Top Bloke !
We need people like him to remind us that we love motors, machines and engines. I'm reading his new book - its already 1/2 price in WHS, but still a great read.
I've seen threads on here about fast cars, fast planes, fast bikes and of course fast birds and JC has well observed views on them all.
Just loved the comment last night about the only person to look cool in a 4-seat convertible was Adolf Hitler - just in time to stop my mate buying a new SAAB in that slime green colour.
Regards
Bryan C.
PS Tiff is still a better wheelman.
PPS In less than 7 days I will be leading the advance party into Caen late evening arrival. Can't wait.........

I must say i would never take him seriously but fair play to him that he supports British Industry, and the show he did on Victoria Cross heroes was to short.
