RE: I love this guy..
He's a Brit called Jeremy Clarkson.The car we all drive is another Brit called a Jaguar X Type
Us other Brits think its got to be the best motoring show anywherein the worldwith all the info,sarcasm and p*ss taking.Some manufacturers supplied cars forthe show and wished they hadnt.The crap cars end up on the uncoolest side of the cool car wall wall of fame.
Heres a £250 Jag XJS beating a Porsche 911 Turbo and a Ferrari in a 1/4 mile sprint

Hey Racer,
you GOTTA love Jeremy Clarkson and the crew. Thay are the tops. The single best motoring programme on the box. They got eveythin from the latest cars with all the info to go with them, info from the motor shows as and when they happen. You have to see "stars in a reasonably priced car" where some tv / film star or other comes to the show and goes round the track as fast as they can in some totally crap car. The " cool wall" where they determine which cars are either cool, uncool, seriously cool or maybe even sub zero. This as well as the really funny stuff they do along with all the sarcasm and wit make it an unbeatable show. The only downside to the whole thing is that it just isn't on long enuff!
Seriously, check out a full show or two and you'll see what we mean.
Cheers and all the best for 2007

He's definetely right about one thing "This thing drives straight and true!" Don't forget to say it with that English accent! Yeah Tog gear is seriously my favorite show for cars. I love watching motorweek but anytime I get a chance to watch those brits I do. My favorite episode they have is definetely driving the jaguar xk. When he races a land rover on a huge lake of ice.

Racer - "the idiot Clarkson" as we like to call him in our household, is an icon in the UK - the boy who never grew up and is allowed to have fun in a way that makes us all jealous. He tried to break away from Auto Journalism and they piloted a TV chat show, but he eventuallyreturned to his roots.The TV program "Top Gear" is compulsory viewing (although I don't know if is syndicated over here), the "Top Gear" magazine is OK (you can buy it in Borders if you look - although I prefer "Car" magazine).The TV show has matured and he is joined by equally characterful co-presenters, who, unlike the sycophantic motoring press here in the US, will call a car crap if they think it is.
If you go onto Youtube and search you will find various "Top Gear" stunts, as well as Jeremy Clarkson's motorworld - a series of light documentary type shows about cars and car nuts in several countries, includingDetroit of course (a show which sadly pin pointed why the big 3 continue to lose to their foreign rivals - it mystifies me why they don't do something about it).
Clarkson is also a big Jaguar fan.
