Those of you who know this eternal programme on BBC TV will know it as the Jeremy Clarkson Show!!

When Top Gear first started it highlighted the latest innovations and marks of new cars, new ideas and engines. A top show for people into cars.

Now its a three man show on who can do what, where and when. Like racing from point A to a kensington hotel on public transport, boat and car. Racing a small plane from Italy to London and other eqaully stupid ideas, all I might add, at the expense of the british taxpayer.

Jeremy Clarkson, who I am a fan of, fronts the show with two others, one of which nearly died racing at 200 MPH+ along an airfield and losing a wheel with subsequent hospital treatment, again, at our expense.

Its about time this show stopped wasting our money and got back to basics.

This is also the show that tried, and failed, to wreck a Toyota pickup by bashing, fire, drowning and crashing, to no avail. The best advert Toyota never paid for. After all that treatment, which included being dowsed with petrol and set alight, and drowned in the river severn at Bristol, it fired first time after a bit of a silt removal cleanup!!!

Im not that into cars myself. If it goes from A to B that fine for me.

But Im a huge fan of the show and think its quality viewing.
Clarkson is legendary.
As for wasting the British taxpayers money....its no skin off my teeth ;-)
I hope the show goes on for decades to come.

What a great show! Love all the challenges, and the news is always brilliant and around it all they actually review cars! Great program and bring on the challenges!!

Ps. Wonder who "The Stig" really is?

Top Gears one of my favourite shows. Love watching it.

The challenges and races they do are comedy. Clarkson just makes the show what it is, but James and Richard do a lot for it aswel.

Long may it continue ;)

If it wasn't for the stuff your complaining about top gear would even be on the air anymore, they had to change it as nobody was watching the old version.:confused:

TopGear is a great show, for car lovers of all ages. My 12 year old brother is a huge fan and watches every episode!!!

I am not a huge car fan myself but I love TopGear, it's got the cars and the serious stuff and the comical and humour thrown in aswell.

Very interesting stuff you said zuco!!!

Voted car of the year by TopGear Jazz........!!!!!!! (every year I think)

They are the perfect family car, reliable, affordable, and look damn sexy ;)

We used to always get them but now we have an Opel Vectra which is good but nothing beats the Mondeo ;)

Your kidding! The very thing that makes Top Gear great is that out of all the car shows, you don't need to be a qualified mechanic to get it.

It's just a bunch of ordinary blokes having a heck of a lotta fun doing stuff we all want to do but can't afford/ to scared/to impractical/can't find time etc.

If tax payers money's being wasted, better by Top gear than Gordon Brown. ;)

Long Live Oscar!!!

Three quality presenters who all bring something different.

Clarkson has the cool dude attitude and is very funny too.

James May is the weird guy.

And Hamster is very short.

:D Love it!
