T 350 in sunday times
Discussion
Clarkson has become a parody of himself. Considering he is writing in a car section, he spends most of his time creating allusions to God-knows-what, and precious little time telling anyone about the car. A load of crap, derivative, small-minded and obviously written between two other, far more important (or self-important) projects. He may have a Lightning in his garden, but he needs a rocket up his arse to replace his opinion which is already up there....
Doesn't Mrs Fish have an Aga and a T350

Have you ever read a complete and I mean complete review by the foodie writer and mate of JC, AA Gill, exactly the same bloody annoying style. I think that AA was there first, so JC has become his clone
. Perhaps its an in-joke at the office, to see who can get away with the least detail on the actual subject, with a pint or pie going to the winner

He clearly learnt this from his friend A A Gill...
...and not to forget he's mates with Deity Wheeler, so he's not going to be really impartial either.
It's all a bit sad really when a sensible eview would do TVR so much good.

I do not have a great problem with JC's style of writing, its just that 7/8's of todays T350 'report' was about Boudica and a generic TVR bending you over the Aga to rodger you.
JC has a 'normal' column in the paper where he has the license to waffle on about such things. Personally I'd like a little more substance to the reviews in the motoring supplement. By all means draw comparasoms, but to spend most of the article wittering 'off track' is not why I read that particular supplement.

Interestingly it was the Victorians whom bought Boudica back into the spot light of modern history. Drawing comparasoms with the good Queen of the day. The spelling of Bodicea is one that the Roman historians of the day gave her, this stuck through to very recently when .................................. sorry O/T a bit there

He doesn't anymore, I think that was just done for the program.
Just read the article and skipped the first bit and started reading from the paragraph when he STARTED to talk about the car
, come on Clarkson get a grip, go back to the proper Clarkson, the Clarkson we know and love. Whilst there were some witty Clarkson-esque comments it was a bit long winded for my liking.
