[Z06] What Jeremy Clarkson thinks of America and the Z06
#62
IMO, like some Brits, Clarkson sort of enjoys being the pompous British ***, for which, some would say, many of them have quite a talent. And, many in that group also enjoy digging at the "colonies", and our unsophisticated ways. Sometimes, I'm not sure if the arrogance some of them display is the unavoidable product of good breeding, or, just in-breeding. Guess the ol' gene pool's getting pretty well used up at this point. So, we should try to accept, even enjoy, the show that folks like Clarkson present. It might be the last generation before extra arms and legs start showing up; how would he drive? Speaking of which, I guess I disagree with some previous posters. I think Clarkson is at least half as good a driver as he thinks, which makes him pretty darn good.

I know Jeremy and he is one of the funniest guys you will ever meet and a genuine car enthusiast.
But yes, Top Gear is a light entertainment show first and a car show a very distant second and that has lead to its unprecedented success worldwide.
The key factor is JC's irreverent humour and presenting style and the fact he is so vigorously un-PC and thank God for that!
He would be delighted to know he has managed to wind some of you up and would give a knowing wink to those of you who get his humour...

I guess we should look at him as a clown who hides behind the 'entertainment' facade when he gets is facts wrong.. that is his formula for success.
