[THE JEDI]

Hey for all you peeps who watch that show, don't you find it very interesting how they rip BMW's and GM and Ford products call them crap or take little evil digs. I really find this so funny based on the fact that British cars were so damn bad that, hell they don't even exist anymore as an automotive power. Think about it, he loves Audis but hates BMW's hates Caddilac, but loves them worthless Jags..loves Lambo but can't stand most Porsche cars...I think the guy is an ass, and the little short dude is just a fucking brown nose....Somtimes he's left of the bullseye....but he ripped the Escalade, and ripped the New Stang....hey I'm not a big fan of either, but damn man you gotta rally around the flag...when they dig our products they are digging on us...Americans ....may sound xenaphobic but hey I think the stang is nice and the CTS is a great car, but when he says things about a euro car would destroy the stang I go he must be crazy. In closing all brithish car companies are mostly owned by the Germans or Americans and this hits the crumpet eating Brits in their pride box.

I like the show, but Jeremy Clarkson has the tendency to not like BMW's. If I were running the show, I could tell you upfront that I would not like most MB's and Audi's, but thats just my personal preference.

[shimshimhada]

Clarkson doesn't hate BMWs or Porsches.

You watch the show for the cars, who cares about the host.
I also watch test drive and they love every car they test.. but who cares about what they say. Just test drive before you buy.

[obLu]

but damn man you gotta rally around the flag

Don't contridict yourself ... you ride Jeremy for having national pride but then you want us to do the pride thing for our shitty cars? Which is it.

Watch the show long enough, they absolutely love ford of eu products. Which I have to say, look to be a lot better than the crap they give us here.

It's all for entertainment value ... if he didn't make fun of germans and claim every british made car were brilliant there'd be no show. Gawd, watching him expound over the new jag coupe, the whole time you could see it was just a glorified bulevard cruiser. But then what other show do you get see cars going sideways.

And don't speak to me of Fifth Gear. That show is ... the fat dude with floppy hair needs to be shit canned along with the chick and the other annoying dude. Just Tiff, that's it. Then the show would rock.

Tiff is the man - no doubt. The long haired bloke can't actually drive, so I really don't know how he got the gig.

The other annoying dude is Jason Plato - a pro BTCC driver:

He knows his stuff, but he is annoying.

Vicki Butler Hendersocks is in fact also an ex pro racing driver:

She is supposed to be a bit of posh totty, but it's wearing thin now.

Remember the words of Master Yoda:

“Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.”

Seriously though ... Clarkson is deliberately controversial and annoying .. it's his trademark.

He liked the Ford GT40 so much he bought one (but sent it back because it kept breaking).

For all his complaints ... they concluded the e90 was great, he loved the M5 and the 545i and the 535d.

Clarkson likes Porsche more than BMW - he always gives the BM's a hard time. He didn't get the z4m coupe ...but the show concluded that it was a cracker.

Remember - with stuff like the escalade and the mustang the reviews are for a British market, when petrol costs more than twice as much as in america.

The escalade just doesn't make any sense here, because we can't afford to fill it up and it doesn't fit on our roads.

I watched the Mustang episode recently and they liked it. They thought the suspension was antique, but they liked the package.

I think top gear is great entertainment

That's cool ... but she still squeels during her bits. Squeeling shouldn't be allowed on a car show.

edit: except the tires of course!
