Well I was looking for a picture from the iceland episode of Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld showing a 1000HP NoS drinking jeep drive up a vertical rock face for the pictures thread but I stumbled across this:

http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,12529,00.html

There is something about Clarkson's writing which I find quite appealing, enjoy.

He's a rarity - a motoring scribe who knows: a) how to write entertainingly, b) a lot about cars, and c) how to drive a car. You'll find in most magazines the writers only hold one of these qualitys - two at most.

See when the environmentalists gave him some pie to the face?

I like Top Gear though I don't think it airs here (?) which is unfortunate.

His generally anti-politically-correct stance on everything can irritate at times, though generally i agree with him...

Of course, those in charge of the Olympics will say that the Games give us a chance to show the world that London is a shining beacon of environmental responsibility . . . in the same way that London was a shining beacon of multiculturalism, right up to the moment when a small group of deranged Muslims started blowing themselves up on Tube trains.
holy shit this guy doesn't hold back. fucking hilarious! :D

Yes the somewhat more cavalier attitude he has takes abit of getting used to, eg comparing 911 models to women (varying models expressed by varying bust sizes/augmentation)......

my favorite top gear ones are when they have the cars vs. other things...like the DB9 vs. the train, the ferrari 612 vs. the plane, Mercedes SLR vs. the boat and the range rover vs. the tank.

WOAH TOP GEAR FANS =] ... Barely anyone I talk to watches it. It's a great show. Although I can't help but wonder if he's a tad biased towards european cars... but I liked it when he bought the SL55-

Any of you guys watch Brainiac? The guy from Top Gear is on it I think.. can't remember his name though ><
