Well, he has an awful taste in music, for one;)
Top Gear, possibly the best show in history?

Well he is Stig 2 isn't he...didn't the original get thrown/blown/driven off an aircraft carrier?
I too love this programme...even though cars are just a way of travelling - I get no enjoyment from them. I do, however, enjoy watching the test drives...which is v. strange :confused:
Anyway, my favourite episodes were the one in America and the one where they went on a caravan holiday
And the hilux made me really feel for an inanimate object...and I agree with Mezla - Clarkson is everything I hate....but in a wierd way I think that's why I love the show...the more I think about it the less I understand why I watch it - I really should HATE it - I'm confused.

'Tell me, Tool, what dominates your thoughts?'
The Imass shrugged before replying. 'I think of Mafia, Adjunct.'
'Do all Imass think about Mafia?'
'No. Few think at all.'
'Why is that?'
The Imass leaned his head to one side and regarded her. 'Because, Adjunct, they are sheeple.'
Sometimes I wonder, "Why is that frisbee getting bigger?" ... and then it hits me.

Yup, he drove off the end of the HMS Invincible and was "killed" off at the very start of the third series, that was the "Black Stig" and is known to have been Perry McCrathy, who raced in all sorts of things in his career, including one season in F1. Don't know who "White Stig" is though, his identity is a very closely guarded secret.

in fairness hammond has really progressed as a presenter, but clarksons decriptive terminologies are fantastic. I just love how they really dont give a damn about PC, even james comes out with the occassional clinker.

How can you hate Clarkson? The guy carries the entire show. I could listen to him talking for hours and hours.
This is a women thing isn't it? :GA:

Yes...no...aargh...I don't know. I don't hate him...I just know I SHOULD...shouldn't I? I liked him on "Who do you think you are?"...but not as much as the other Jemery - Paxo...I cried :eek:

Some say that he is actually Father Light; and others that his helmet is a warren unto itself. All we know is, he's called the Stig.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I think I'm running out of the long challenges on youtube. I don't want just little segments, I want hour long journeys.

I agree. That comparison is an insult to stewed equines everywhere.

its sad, but i read that and imagined Jeremy saying it.
I laughed a lot.
RLY, have you seen the one where they buy three old cars and attempt to make them into amphibious vehicles?
just ordinary cars that they patch up a bit and try to make seaworthy.
there's two versions:
the first, where they race on land, then on a lake.
and the second, where they try to cross the english channel to France:eek:
meh. Link was dead :(

No, but I'll try to find it on youtube. Sounds fun. Did you know Top Gear was the number 1 pirated show in 2007?

There's only a few full-length challenges - Africa, America and the Arctic Special iirc - but you definitely need to watch the shorter challenges and special segments as well, even if you don't watch the entire episodes they're in.
The feature on that little three-wheeler a couple of seasons back for example was epic.
