Jeremy Clarkson sure has a screwed up view of things.

[sprung_monkey]

i like top gear and clarkson.........but he is a prick no doubt about it

[DanWS6]

I like the show as well but it seems that him as well as the other hosts and producers of the show have a big chip on their shoulders when it comes to American cars.

[Bandit02]

Agree ^^^

English haha, we can pick on their cars just as much. Remember the electrical problems

[Marc 85Z28]

They're just still pissed off that we kicked their asses out of here several centuries ago. I've heard Clarkson utter "colonies" when referring the the USA several times.

Well, sorry to say so, but Clarkson is brilliantly funny again. And that poll in Vegas... (I know it's edited, but you still gotta have the answers to make it work)
And come on: Doesn't he pick on British cars just like he does on American ones? How they always brake down (wich they do)? On the other hand, didn't he praise the Ford GT as one of the greatest supercars?


It's just TV = it's just a joke.
I just love Top Gear, cause it's just funny.

I love American muscle.

Me too, otherwise I'd have a Toyota: Quality is magnificent, but who cares, they're just boring!!!

What good is muscle if it's constantly leaving you stranded on the roadside? I too would buy a Toyota muscle car if such a thing was ever developed at a reasonable price. (i.e. I don't care for the high payments or social stigma that plague owners of Lexus 400's. Not really a muscle car, but still a good performer.)

Looking damn good on the side of the road

Who's with me on making an american version?

"This here is your adverage porchee boxster.....0-60 in 9.2 seconds with your typical european driving it...0-60 in 5.2 seconds with an american driving it....Why such the big differnce......lets travel back to 1969 when the mucle car erra was just taking off....here we have the Camaro...Firebird, gto, chevelle, nova, duster, charger, challenger, and so on.......all cars back in the 60's that could whoop the shit outa some of the european cars for 90,000 + "

[sprung_monkey]

yeah but you gotta turn at some point

and those big boys didnt do that so well lol

[hamburger68]

Well, there are no tight turns when you're on the autobahn going 140 mph...
But parking that thing in a european city is always a pain! No space!

[5LtrBtr]

Well i do agree with him about the buying a car thats built to be thrown away in 3 years part.

[NdrSiege]

He pointed out one of the things i hate most about some drivers in this country: "They're quite happy to plot along in the same lane, at the same median speed for mile after mile."

Some people need to be reedjumacated about which lane is which.

EDIT: And why would you need to know the capital of a country when you have Google???

[440 rwhp trans am]

yeah but did you see the one he did with the zo6? he was like holly shit!!

[twozs]

let me tell you the british have built some of the biggest pieces of shit out there . the mg the spitfire even the jag was almost undriveable untill us tecnology

[hamburger68]

We have a saying here in Germany:

"Gott schütze uns vor Sturm und Wind, und Autos die aus England sind!"
May God protect us from storm and wind, and cars that are from Engelynd!"


(C'mon, in medieval poetry, that would pass as a rhyme...)

[drone14]

In Australia we have a similar saying:

POMS SUCK!!!
