I don't like Jeremy Clarkson one bit.

Arrogant and Ignorant. Likes the sound of his own voice and has a messiah complex.

And these are the nice things I can write about him.

If he ever comes speeding my way, It would be a pleasure to give him a ticket.

Negative Creep · 07-21-2007, 05:08 PM

For me Clarkson is a genius. Even if you may not agree with what he says, it's so nice in this politically correct world will stand up and say what he thinks. I never normally bother with new car reviews as yopu know whatever car is on test will get 4 stars and raved about. Clarkson and Top Gear will be the only ones to say something is ugly or rubbish

To be honest he has grown on me while watching the show. Initially I would have echoed the above but now don't mind him so much.

Genius and Demi-God, Clarkson is King of Motoring!

Cadillac SRX4

"This is a very ugly car. So ugly in fact that you’ll want to get inside it and shut the door as quickly as possible. But sadly when you are inside it’s even worse.

"If it were a creature, it wouldn’t be a lion or a praying mantis or even a chimp. No, I think it would be a wasp — useless and hateful in equal measure"

I rest my case...

Watanbe · 07-24-2007, 09:47 AM

The man is brilliant I reckon, he is actually quite accurate in his reviews. He is biased against my beloved Japanese cars though. He makes the show highly entertaining.

He certianly isnt afraid to say what he thinks and in many cases his opinions are quite funny and true!!!!

I think the way he presents his character is very intelligent!

The Basket · 07-24-2007, 09:56 AM

I don't know how anyone can say anything good about Clarkson.

The world is just not right.

Smokey · 07-24-2007, 11:10 AM

I reckon most of the time he's joking around, and I find some of his comments quite funny

Aggie08 · 07-24-2007, 01:24 PM

He does keep it entertaining and the show is pretty fun to watch. I'd imagine he's just joking too, but he probably is a bit of an ass anyways.

bigZ · 07-24-2007, 04:00 PM

I am a cyclist who cant drive. I disagree with Clarkson most of the time but enjoy the show none the less. In my opion Clarkson is about as offensive as a fart without the smell.

mosquitoman · 07-24-2007, 05:55 PM

A lot of noise that doesn't amount to much then?

I like him because he's as un-PC as you can have on TV, but then again I can see why people would have a problem with him.

The Basket · 07-24-2007, 06:07 PM

I don't care what he says just that someone has given him the ability to say it.

The word is tosser.

He has done nothing, been nothing, knows nothing, is nothing.
Yet believes he is God. The king of Braindead. He just makes me wretch. Only in a pathetic society in which people watch Big Brother and David And Victoria Beckham are heroes can Clarkson thrive.

I don't like Jeremy Clarkson by the way.

bigZ · 07-24-2007, 06:16 PM

Basket which of the 12 cars is yours?

Negative Creep · 07-24-2007, 06:18 PM

Incidentally, Clarkson loved my car when he reviewed it, calling it 'everything a Toyota Corolla is not' So he knows what he's talking about!
