i used to think clarkson was funny.... but after a while he gets really irritating, with his etonesque pompous manner and the way he talks down to everyone.
and hes a shite driver.
every car he drives he has to skid it and wreck the tyres.
ive been driving since i was 14 (lol) and to me, the point of a good car is not how much smoke comes off the tyres just before you crash it.

and whats the point of testing cars that cost a million quid? i will never even see one never mind own one.

if i was in the audience id keep calling him a faggot.

Look , If this is going to turn into a hate Clarkeson campaign, before it starts I would just like to say, I have a piece of rope and a shovel handy.To be fair iv'e not noticed a decline in the program because i exercised the right to use the off button years ago....Timbo there's always fifth gear,wow thats what you call a ...ere...program...isn't it ?

Stopped watching Top Gear along time ago. They do'nt review any vehicles that a working man can afford,and I think they should be setting an example on how to drive.

I think its a right bag of old crap now - I did think it was entertaining many moons ago buying rubbish cars and trying to get to lap-dancing bars...

.

I think James May was quoted that its become more like a 'sit-com' - best thing he can do is stick to building lego houses and train-sets.

I'm actually considering the crumball rally as a bit of a laugh with a couple of pals - I wonder if there's a bike version....

Well, don't watch it then, is the simple answer. I didn't watch Lark Rise to Candleford, X Gactor, Eastenders, Coronation Street or any of that puerile piffle because it is all rubbish.

I don't watch it very often either.

What happened to all the programs with bikes in them

There used to be quite a few at one time.
