    Pompous and rude ...on a Jeremy Clarkson comment ....PMSL
    Just because he is doesn't mean nobody else can be. Plenty of people are pompous and rude. You, it seems, are definitely one of them.
    Like he is the antithesis of Pompous and rude.
    I suggest you look up the concept 'straw man argument'.
    Its not a secret that JC has issues with his sexuality
    Is that according to his wife (i don't think she's actually divorced him yet), well publicised ex-mistress or two children? (NOTE: I don't actually care about Jeremy Clarkson's sexuality. But you seem to care very much, which I think is rather odd).
    and homophobia.
    Do you have anything to substantiate any of the allegations you're making? Or are you just a rather simplistic troll?

    I did find it amusing that Clarkson asked for lessons in punching despite his efforts with Piers Morgan

    Clarkson did damage his hand when he punched out Morgan, I think he showed it on TV once.

    Anyone who punches Piers morgan deserves a medal.

    He said he had never punched anyone before. It was during an interview on Parkinson's show.

    Funny interview




    Also


    When they mentioned Hammond breaking his Ferrari (which was astonishingly poorly constructed)


    Did anyone notice the huge sratch down the left hand side of Mays R8 ....was a far old scrape (expensive)

    (see it when Clarkson, is messing with his glasses and look over his right shoulder during the hoods up race (second hoods up race) around 30mins in...maybe a bit longer..

    I think it's pretty obvious that they push some of the younger and/or better looking females to the front.
    Infact I think it's been stated on a TG thread by an audience member.
    At one point the official line was that they position smaller people at the front, and statistically those tended to be female. For whatever reason, totty-spotting used to be a productive sport on Top Gear. However, in recent series I have found it to be less so.

    Aren't the cars they use on these tests basically review cars I.e. cars used for tv shows, mag reviews etc, I'm pretty sure they aren't given a brand new 458 every time they use one.

    You'd have thought so, especially with the damage that can happen.

    One occasion I can think of where they needed to raid the contact book was when the drummer of Pink Floyd (I think) lent them his Ferrari for the day.

    Can anyone shed some light on how the financing of this show works.....as I understand it, Clarkson and the two muppets are paid by the BBC using our licence fees, the BBC sell the rights worldwide using Clarksons production company such that JC pockets another few million. So we the eager viewers get to pay JC for playing around in fast cars in the knowledge that his puerile antics will actually generate more money for him.

    Can I play as well please

    Does it matter?
    They probably have several - different drivers for when they are on location or a company's own test driver who is the only one authorised to test drive a particular car etc.

    Probably not, just interesting who the main driver is. Wonder if this one will get the sack like the last one....

    According to that article it's fans who have outed him. He hasn't admitted anything - or written a book about it (as far as we know ;))
