Nah Lee Enfield Mk4 .303, proper rifle, not that low velocity little 22 thing.
I never said JK was a rapper, it is Clarkson who sounds like one.
I see the program as a way to make money out of the mental problems of motoring youth and the aspirations of the weedy.

Which probably says more about you than it does about the programme, sadly.

At no point do the presenters attempt to make themselves, or the show, look at all serious. Indeed, they seem to go out of their way to look daft.

Have you ever thought that it might just be a bit of irreverent humour designed, in some little way, to take the mickey out of the motoring industry. Knowing your dislike of the big motoring corporations, I'm surprised it's not required viewing in your house...

I do like the idea of taking the rise out of the arrogant motor industry.
Problem with Clarkson is that young motor head morons take him seriously and then go out on the public highway.
If he was prepared to teach ALL of these young people how to drive properly and take some resonsibility for their actions I might feel different.
As it is I think he is a threat to road safety.

Considering the whole motor industry arrogant is like people that say French people are all arrogant, it's prejudice. You end up liking the worst part of the show for that, as they never take anything serious to make fun of the industry and those against it also.

Considering only young people subject to a show is also prejudice, as they are not the only ones to do these things on the road. That's also agenda, as there is lots of shows of all kinds and films showing incorrect behavior and in the end it's up to people watching to set reality apart from productions. I don't like this also, but then you would have to consider a lot of other productions a threat to be fair.

And Jeremy Clarkson as a rapper?

True. That's the problem of the show, as they go too far of the way and end up exaggerating and not being informative nor fun many times.

If you don't like it so much, just don't watch it. Read a book or go to the pub when it's on (but don't drive back).

The driving standards could be worse. They could were flatcaps - the international sign of a bad driver (maybe I should get one.... ).

Of course yes, Jackie Stewart.

The exception to the rule. Large sideburns countered the effects of the flat cap. Similar to Clay Regazzoni's moustance.

Well if it is about the fact that people copy him, Then we must ban allot of stuf from television. Because i don't think Fast & Furious is a good educuation lesson for young people.

No but really, that has nothing to do with the show. The show makes people laugh! And if young people think they can do stupid stuff like Jeremy then it is not the Program's fault but the young people's! And they are that stupid because there parents never told them they couldn't do some stuff, because they believe it too!

You don't understand the 'ban/get rid of anything I don't like' brigade, do you?

Not only do they not want to do it, they therefore don't want to se anyone else do it either...

You are describing FOTA to a tee.

The fun police sticking their fingers up to Darwinian evolution.

I really liked when they went to Miami and thought they were gonna get shot around the corner from my shop...

In the USA with those cars with text on theme,

I love men, i hate country music And then at the gas station those people throw rocks at theme. Like in the Middle Ages

Those Country guys, are sooooo from the year 1200!


No Offense to Country people, it is JUST a JOKE!

Sad but true people like that exist everywhere.

The reason I watch it is it used to be the best thing o television, and it annoys me how crap it is now. Just like the simpsons. Am I not allowed to express my views? in the hope that they might relaise that theres more important things in life than making maximum profit from Idots?
