tting. 
Many have have been challenged to take the custard test, few have passed it. Plato is amongst them.
Anyway, I'm with the general assessment that this was epic until page 6, and it all got a bit sad after that. We were all enthusiastic youngsters once, and we all love cars and admire those lucky and talented enough to be paid to drive them. We live vicariously through their reviews, footage and racing of our dream cars. I'd have been star-struck meeting a racing driver at 17, in fact I'd probably be a bit lost for words nowadays. Fair play to Plato for playing along, but lets all leave the kid alone, eh? We've had our laughs.

I've met him a few times as a good friend Ben Winrow was racing in the Seats and he was presenting the Racing Rivals programme.
Damn nice chap, best car presenter on the box by miles, only Jason can do a car test and call it "Diirrrty" and "woah dobin" Rather watch Jason than some annonymous gimp character in a white suit that can't communicate what they really think whilst driving (pre the reveal and not referring to Ben Collins either)
God knows what the op was expecting, I'd definately of been thinking "stalker" or "car jacking", the man took the time to shake your hand, he probably did that with trepidation.
edited to add that overtake where he nearly takes off tiffs nose in the Subaru was awesome, this programme needs an hour slot not 30 bloody minutes. TG is too old hat now, much prefer the format of Fifth Gear, just wish we had more of it.
Absolutely epic thread, full kudos to JP for replying!

I agree 100% about fifth gear, its s
t that top gear has an hour of the same old nonsense time and time again and the odd feature about a car, the specials are good but besides that like you say its old hat. Fifth gear I would love to be a full hour with no breaks, all about the cars and the presenters are just spot on, wouldn't change a single thing about Fifth Gear.Again epic thread!
Welcome all you do realise you can never leave !!!
You really are a sad, miserable old bWeirdNeville said:

Seems to me that George has fessed up, made his apologies and is probably feeling a bit of a knob,
so as good people, lets give him a break.
Needless to say it has been amusing to say the least.
Cheers JP
I think a photo of Jason and George shaking hands would wrap this up nicely. Seems to me that George has fessed up, made his apologies and is probably feeling a bit of a knob,
