I was in London a couple weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised to find a Top Gear magazine in the newstand. (I didn't know there was one!) Its got a lot of pages, much more than our C+D, R+T, or MT. Jezza, Hamster, and Captain Slow all have regular columns.
If Clarkson wasn't so unfairly biased, so pigheaded, so unreasoanble, so frequently wrong, then TG wouldn't be so fun to watch! Its kinda like Simon Cowl on American Idol, if there is any fun to that show, its watching Simon tear into some idiot.
The only way an American car will really impress anyone outside of the States, is if it posts some incredible lap time on the Ring. Thats the internationally recognized world standard.
On a tour of the Abbey, I came across this statue of the early British abolitionist and statesman William Wilberforce, and thought it looked a lot like James May, (right). Imagine ol' Will with long hair, and presto, you've got Captain Slow!
