You think the hamster is the better driver of the two?

Don't know... I have a suspicion that Clarkson is the better one of the two.

I think it would be fun to spend a day with James May. Have you seen James May's Toy Stories or James May's Big Ideas? I thought both were great. I haven't seen Man Lab yet.

I've seen some of it but as with the others, I think he is funnier to watch in Top Gear. Clarkson takes up a lot of space, tho.

I have now returned with some evidence,   but don't get me wrong -  i love the three of them, and The Stig.  They all play their part.

Evidence

Why wouldn't i pick our jezza to go on a long car journey
I've seen some of it but as with the others, I think he is funnier to watch in Top Gear. Clarkson takes up a lot of space, tho.


yes he takes up a hell of a lot of space with his enormous head.  that huge swede of his might block out
some stunning views of the passing scenery,    and of course any passenger of his would have 'reduced light' in the vehicle... not good :zoinks:   
he is also very dominant and quite bossy and i can't imagine him being too pleased if i want to stop to  go to the toilet :LOL:
and then...we come to his driving.....
....
and then....
....the reliant robin episode 
 


moving on

Captain Slow
well what can i say...if i was with my child or my mother - yes,  that would be assuming of course that i was also
in no hurry whatsoever, and my arrival time of the following week would be ok

...just look at May,  :green:


therefore the only one left
The Hamster

but why the hamster??

the hamster dance of course :nerd!: 

I rest my case

blah blah blah

The Hamster looks pretty relaxed when driving. He also looks about five behind the wheel.

Some of my favourite TG quotes


Clarkson

"The only person to look good in the back of a four seater convertable was Hitler"



"This being a new series of top gear. we thought we try out a new presenter, Ok.
He's called James May and on the evidence of what we're about to see, he is a blithering idiot."



"I hate car journeys, they're so mind crushingly boring, but after 6 hrs and 330 miles in the Jag,
i was relaxed, no matter what the irritation."



"as something to live with every day, I'd rather have bird flu."  re corvette z06



"It’s like Gerard Depardieu – slightly swollen middle, broken nose but there are hidden talents.
And it’s not just me who likes it.
Everybody here likes it.
And the people who like it most of all, are the family of Albanians, that I inadvertadly brought back into Britain in each of the wheel arches.
They’ve written to me to say that it will always hold a special place in their heart.”   on the citroen berlingo



“It looks like an ugly snake that swallowed a wardrobe”.  on the toyota yaris



"You can also buy it as a Diesel, if you're the type of person who thinks the Mona Lisa should have a Mustache."





May
"It's like a supermodel smoking a pipe, its just wrong''  referring to diesel convertibles



"Oh  Cock"  then later  "permission to say cock"



Hamster
"The Mercedes G Wagen AMG 55. It's hilarious.
It's a bit like those stories you hear about a 21 year old lap dancer marrying an 86 year old billionaire.
It doesn't sound natural but lets face it, they're both gonna have a great time. "

"It's got two knobs! Well....three if you include the one who bought it!"
in response to May's Fiat Panda

"Understeer is when you're going along and you turn a corner, the car goes straight on hits a tree ...and you die.
Now oversteer is when you come to a corner, the back comes round - you hit a tree..... and you die.
The thing to remember is that Oversteer is best because then you don't see the tree that kills you! "


"Wow! A TVR band! So presumably they play really loud, really fast and then burst into flames! "














blah blah blah

Yes, but watch this review and see a grown man giggle so much about a car.




I swear I'm going to move to Australia just for the great cars.


I didn't get the comment with the pie and key on the hood (bonnet)?

Which I did, just now. I've watched Top Gear all evening. Season 5, with several memorable moments.
