I much prefer 5th Gear with Tiff and company. I think Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear an incredibly arrogant (and stupid) tool. He did point out someone even more deserving of ridicule, though. The numbnut who sent a speed trap van out to catch the drivers of teh Britain WRC rally race out in Wales as they blew by at a blistering 40 mph.

BBC2 but then i am in england

codex the 5th gear team used to be on top gear many years ago with JC but he left the show and the ratings dropped, channel 5 air 5th gear over here. its not as good IMO. clarkson is arrogant but he also tells the trouth if a car is crap he'll say its crap and if its great the'll glam it up.!!! you should see what tiff did with a beloved E30 325i

yeah, I coulda sworn they were on the same program together. These new ones aren't as good. Clarkson doesn't sugar coat things, which I don't have a problem with, but he ridicules things that are just subjective beyond compare. Like when he compares a car's styling. And he's not as funny as he thinks he is. Tiff is much funnier and has a much more charismatic personality. I wish he would do the wild car tricks he used to but oh well.

Yeah that's true, Clarkson does think he's a lot funnier then he actually is. But eh, it's more of how the cars handle his driving that I pay attention too. I just ignore his ramblings sometimes. I do like their Vicky Butler-Henderson on Top Gear also. She seems to know her cars too..

...although I have a weak spot for women who have likings to cars...

yea i have to agree with you. JC has this thing where you either agree completly or completly disagree. Tiffs ability to power slide is second to none (even top F1 drivers get impressed by his car control) however i do find JC annoying but Tiff comes across as a arrogant man and that why i don't like him)
