Jeremy Clarkson gets it sooo wrong
Discussion
TVRlover said: JulianHJ,
Did you take your car down to DREAM MACHINES to have a new front badge fitted and also take it down there at an earlier date for a service?
I have spoke to you before if it is you. I am the boy who works down there on saturdays!
I have seen your mum and dad's COSWORTH before and I like it!
David
Yep, that's me!
Any idea when DM are getting their T350 demo?
speed6 said:and in clarksons no limits he said "the tomora was the prettiest car to come out of blackpool."
When i heard what he said "There uncool" i was shocked!!
But the cool board isn't about the looks, it's whether they're cool or not.
You don't have to believe every word the man utters, you can have your own opinion of what you think is cool. That board is just his opinion.
Ha Ha - he is as talentless as the spice girls and half as clever - he must be in a gay relationship (mercedes proves this) with the Director of the BBC or something. All the dinosaurs have died - except Clarkson - get this elderly pleb off our screens I say.
I was on 'Emu's Pink Windmill Show' in 1983 FYI Zumbruk - ha ha.

there are quite a large amount of people who dispute that actually
Noodles - just had a look at your wonderful green beastie on ze profile - excellent! Very Ferris Bueller, if you don't mind me saying so!
Re Clarkson, all I can say is that I remember his initial review of the (4.2) Cerbera on TG in the mid 90s.
He was blown away by it.
Contradiction is his middle name but I still enjoy his b*ll*ck talk; it's harmless and vaguely cathartic un-PC drivel but that's about it.
He seems to have perfected the power slide a la Tiff, too. Which is nice.
Toodle pip.

If to be cool is to be "in fashion" then should the opinion of a desperately out of fashion... by about three decades JC really bother us at all?
Wasn't he on that "worlds worst dressed" (wife told me honest
where he was beaten into second place by Liza Minelli ....Unbeleivably they got him to look like an even bigger twat after the make-over.
REVIEW OF THAT SHOW BY ADAM MULVEY:
"Clarkson, on the other hand, seemed to work his affably boorish charm on the presenters right from the beginning; no desire on their part to make him out to be a) old, b) fat and c) dressed like his mother. It was interesting to see the difference. After an initial assessment that he looked like he should be "selling vegetables in the market" (come the Revolution!), Jeremy simply whined at them in the manner of a rather endearing 12-year-old, and tried desperately to escape their fitting-room clutches. "I'm not wearing a blue suit and a purple shirt", he whined, à la Partridge ("Just try talking, Lynn, and see what I do!") Apparently he himself hates the jeans-and-Geography-teacher-jacket look, but their suggestions for an update were not at all to his liking. "I know this programme's all kind of - 'cushions' ... But I'm a man! I like fighter jets!" This is Clarkson's world-weary faux-chauvanist schtick, and you either like it or you don't, but it was highly entertaining to watch. (Trinny: "When I look at this wardrobe I feel ..." Clarkson: "Moist?") The aforementioned suit, apparently, made him look like "a photocopier salesman": "I've never worn a jumper in my life. People who wear jumpers are bullied." Nuff said."
Oh yeah something else his mother wrote about him on her very own website...www.sosorry.com
"J****y C******n is a patronising, self-worshipping, talentless, sexist shit who is stuck in early adolescence and promotes the car as god mentality because without his penis symbol he is nothing but a useless witless prat stuck forever in the more embarrassing corners of the 1970s.
His views on anything are worth somewhere between zero and less than zero."
Well mother knows best

I think everyone is missing the point a bit - his premise is that "cool" is nothing to do with how good a car is, or whether he likes it. In fact, he is happy to be uncool - see where this is going?
In his view "cool" is some ephemeral zeitgeist, that changes from season to season & has nothing to do with the actual merits of the vehicle.
In the very programme, he stated that he loved driving some of the uncool cars, and as some of the posters here have already stated, he's doing it for a reaction (that worked didn't it?)
IMHO he's actually quite good at what he does, and he gets paid fairly well to drive other peoples fast cars to the best of his ability, and then talk/write about them without having to be PC about it.
I wouldn't mind doing that

That is exactly the point... What is or is not cool changes with time, unlike Jeremy Clarkson who was probably cool once (well maybe) and its fine that he is not in denial of his "uncoolness" but can his opinion on what IS cool be taken seriously? For if cool is the ephemeral spirit of the here and now how can he possibly have an opinion stuck as he is in 1974?
And if he is uncool and TVR's are uncool does that mean that my car is the automotive equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson.
Please god NOOOOO

singh old chap, a double negative there implies that TVR's are definately cool.....an own goal on JC's part I think
