I forget his name... "Egg Head" comes to mind... he's always bashing the Porsche.

This clip is hard to watch! They drop a PIANO on a 911!!!

I hope this isn't a repost but ...geez!

Other than Jeremy Clarkson's 911 bashing he's great. Top Gear without him would be boring. Other than the 911 thing he seems like a real car guy and tells it like he sees it. I may not agree with all of his ideas, but he's great anyway.

Jeremy might not like the air cooled 911s, but he really likes the 996 turbo. He just doesn't like the handling characteristics of the 911. Also if you have ever seen any of his other shows, most of it is purely for entertainment purposes and he often picks out one small thing that he dislikes about a car and focuses the segment on that. One more thing, when he did a top 100 cars show I think he named the 996 #2. Top Gear is a great show too, one of the only honest (other than their extreme British bias) and humorous car shows.

Well, I'm going to go against the grain and say I think he's obnoxious.
Sappy and overdramatic.

Stanley 01-22-2005 11:27 PM

Leland...I'll agree that he is sappy and overdramatic, but that is what makes the show entertaining. Have you seen any full Top Gear episodes, or is this the only Jeremy Clarkson clip you have seen.

Now at least I know that the next time a piano is bouncing toward me in the fast lane, I need not worry.

Lol.
Some may think a Folgers exhaust is overdramatic. Leland, give the guy a chance and watch a few episodes. He's great. Not many people volunteer to stand up to the full force of a wind tunnel with their mouth open either (which he did). So what if he slathers 911's. He's British...and they are German! Old school with tongue firmly in cheek.
