Jeremy Clarkson
Discussion
I used to think he was good in the old Top Gear series but now he's just getting on my nerves.
In the sunday times he wrote the article about that Smart roadster without even driving it.
How can it be fair to write a review slating the car by just looking at a picture and looking at some statistics on a piece of paper? He could have at least been fair to drive the car and then slate it.

He also admitted to not driving the car. I don't think that even Mercedes would claim that the Smart Roadster is a performance car, which whas JC's point. If it is all about indiviuality and pose factor, then shouldn't you make something that is going the be good for posing for more than a week.
I still find him quite amusing, but am not sure how he gets away with a two column rant before getting onto the subject of this weeks car - maybe that is why he is still going.

I know someone that used to be a motoring journalist - he had zero interest in cars but drove everything from Ford Escorts to Ferrari Testarossas. They jetted him to Barcelona, Milan and all sorts of places. I'd swap jobs now to do something like that. It'd mean taking a pay cut but what a job.
He said Clarkson just thrashed the cars, drank all the expensive wine and generally took the p!ss. Which is exactly what I'd do
The one thing about Clarkson is that you know where you stand. He's full of cliches but at least he says what he means. Over all, I think he's pretty good.

Would agree he has lost his edge that he used to have in the good old days of top gear (i.e when it was good).
I just find that his slant on things is quite similar to my opinion and I like the way he doesn't hold back his thoughts.
He is in his element when not scrpted (i.e a bit on his talkshow and at live events) but today it seems a lot of the stuff he says is because he is told to say it.
