Has anyone read the Driving section of the Sunday times today (13th Nov) - he is gently having a dig at RRS drivers in the Saab review,... any idea why ? I thought he rated the car (as per the escaping Challenger tank) , also in TOP Gear magazine survey it does quite well (4 out 5 stars)...

Can you paste it and post it , here on the forum ?

Why not go to the source? http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12529-1868180,00.html Uh, what dig? A vehicle's rating and the market demographic's "cockometer" are two different things.

Hypocrisy = Clarkson ordered his Ford GT well in advance and boy when broke down ...... how big a CO*k did he look then

Typical inconsistent Clarkson, but then he makes this point about himself in the article. As long as you take him at face value, I think he's harmless enough...

Clarkson a prat. He reviewed the M3 with SMG and slagged it silly, then in one of his videos he drove an M3 with SMG and all of a sudden its the best gearbox in the world. I think his mouth often works before his brain is in gear!

Same with his GT40 that he slagged off recently............. Ford is crap, Ford cannot get the hitech bits right etc and then it turns out the bit causing the problems isn't original fit equipment but an aftermarket fitted satellite tracker and alarm system required to get insurance for the car.................... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

You have to admire his enthusiasm for the motor car

So he doesn't like the Sport now then?
he was loving it when that tank was chasing him! Shame it was not loaded with real shells. It would have meant the end of a Sport but got rid of him haha

The Clarksons run a Volvo XC90 as their family car.............................. they used to have a Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon (the biggest Land Cruiser), I suppose of the 3 presenters of TG it looks better if 1 of the 3 doesn't run a Land Rover as both May and Hammond have Landies in their garages. Tiff Niddell has also become a Range Rover convert in the last year. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
