      There's nothing like coveringall the bases....

      I remember watching a TG where all he did was slag Quattro AUDI's cos they were so front end heavy and all this did was make 'em understeer and thus make 'em undrivable at speed!!

      WHATEVER JC!!!!

        It is obvious from some of the replies that you ARE bothered about what others think of the car you drive

          It would seem my use of the word 'image' has been misconstrued... I was referring to the accidental imagery conjured up by the comment of looking like 'cocks in his eyes'.

I'm an ********!

              so if top gear did nothing but test on cars from 5k to 25k would you listen to them and sell your car to buy one?? and if you did win the lottery would you listen to them and get something like a pagani (however its spelt) or would you think about what YOU wanted?

              it annoys me when people go on about not watching it because they cant afford the cars, i know that if they tested the latest honda micra or nissan jazz i would be one of the first to turn off and not watch again.

                        I have read numerous comments from Clarkson of that nature, at one time he called the S2 the best car in the world because of its blend of refinement and performance. I think some of them were articles he wrote for the Daily Mail? I have a few books full of them i think came free with Top Gear magazine. Someday i'll dig them out and scan them....

Clearly he forgot all that when he became the king of Sunday night prime time when he gets to act the eejit (usually hanging his tail out in some stupid tyre smoking drift cos he has 500yds of runoff area) in cars that are more expensive than most of his audiences homes.
