Okay, the news would have us believe that J.Clarkson is no longer the main man with Top Gear. How about some possible alternatives?

That person would need to have in my light hearted opinion the following pre requisites .

Be a successful existing motoring journalist.

The ability to drive like a demon.

Have a serious association with the big name manufacturers.

Not be a shrinking violet

Not be to old, though be old enough.

Not be shy of the camera.

Have earned the respect of so many top drivers

There is no contest!, I present my candidate ...... Chris Harris !!

Unless of course anyone knows a better alternative!

Jay Kay; I guess he owns a few cars. Far too smug with no real personality. Be honest he is not going to be the "Guy"

Chris Evans? Total, total respect! Why he is not Sir Chris Evans I do not know. He is far too busy to take on such a role, though if he did it would be great fun as a show.

The programme needs a personality with a penchant for driving and everything connected to that task. Combine that strong personality, boundless knowledge of the sort of cars that people aspire to owning and Top Gear has a winner.

Go on them suggest someone better. !!

Thanks Kul! Maybe some of my other qualifications would liken me to JC; those would be the ones that the BBC don't want! biggrin

Anyway, Jaguar Land Rover have been hosting an event over the last 3 days at a certain Hotel in Moreton in Marsh. The purpose was to allow a load of journalists try out the new RR Sport. Among the more well known ones were Steve Sutcliffe and Chris Harris. On Sunday Chris Harris cancelled his room booking and failed to appear. My theory is that he was summoned by the BBC to be offered the Top Gear Job ! driving

Having established the answer to that off-forum thats another case of PHSWS (PistonHeads small world syndrome)

Anyone know if Hammond still has his 991 GT3?
Yes he has! Until his RS arrives! Only speculating of course!

I would agree with Chris Evans being the ideal guy to host Top Gear though I think the poor chap has enough on his plate already. Plus he appears to be very much the family man.
