I agreed with Jeremy Clarkson...shock...

-saw 'top gear' last night and for once didn't violently object to every other word he said.

Is it just me.....?

I used to like him, then he made a statement about speeding...

"its ok for a bloke to do 140 mph on the motorway, he wants to get home to see his kids before they go to bed"

Thanks JC, that will really help the cause !!

ah the wonderful, inflammatory Jezza....

"To get some idea of the bewilderment and the sense of persecution, try driving around Britain in one of the new 6-series BMWs.

After a while you’re forced to think: “I am sitting here at a road junction with my indicator on and nobody is letting me out. Why does everyone hate me so?” I think we are genetically programmed to be fearful of BMW drivers in the same way that we are programmed to be just a little bit frightened of Scottish people in pub lavatories. We know that most people above the border are normal but we’ve all seen Trainspotting. “Glass” may have been turned into a verb by the youth of South Yorkshire but it was turned into a pastime in the bars of Glasgow.

And so it goes on the road. You may be a very good driver. You may be a caring father who runs a meals on wheels service for the old folks at weekends. But if you drive a BMW, you are tarred with the same brush as the berk in the 3-series who thinks the Highway Code stopping distances are measured in millimetres.

Two or three times in the 645Ci I was genuinely staggered at the belligerence of other road users when it swung into their peripheral vision. I don’t think I could have had the door shut so firmly on me if I’d had www.kiddieporn.com emblazoned on the doors.

If you currently drive a Jaguar or a Mercedes, or any other type of car actually, you will find this reasonless bullying hard to stomach, and for that reason alone I’d steer clear of the 645, which to everyone else is the 666."

And whats more a lot of it isn't even entertaining.

If you think the tv program is bad you should read the magazine. It's turning into the motoring equivalent of Maxim. Hardly any decent articles about cars but loads of pages full of pointless rubbish. I think it's known as dumbing down

actually, doesn't JC drive a hairdressers car?
