Some say he's the love-child of John Major and Edwina Curry, and once behind the wheel of a car, he has the common-sense of a wombat, but all we know is... he's a divot!

Belief is not the same as knowing.

People will then say he's a "ledge", probably, because this is Britain.

He is a Ledge.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

The guy is wealthy and reasonable successful, some on here do not like people with that combination for some reason.

Wealth and success aside, some people don't like him simply because he is a first class twatmus.

I'd certainly like to see him on a ledge - Beachy Head would be ideal.

Or is it because he has worked out what he needs to do to be wealthy and successful, unlike most of us.

How's that then? Does he sit in people's cars egging them on and convincing them that they're in an F1 car on a flying lap in qualifying?

Well if those are the only things that matter to you...

Just Google malignant narcissistic personality disorder......

[QUOTE 3336274, member: 45"]When Paul Smith was alive and had Safespeeding at its peak, his site was overrun with poor drivers seeking peers to endorse their dangerous driving. TG has the same effect. Just look at the studio crowd and listen to their feedback when he spouts his junk.[/QUOTE]

Which is where he is a real danger, whether it is a carefully constructed persona, he is an objectionable character or simply a muppet.........

There are a large number of acolytes out there who take his word as confirmation that their poor and dangerous actions are acceptable.
Lets look at a few of his more responsible quotes:

In 2008 at the Hay festival he claimed to be driving at 186 mph on public roads, this acceptable because:

“Nick [Freeman, Clarkson's lawyer] is wonderful. He gets you off everything. Well, doesn’t get you off; show’s you’re not guilty.”

“The speed limit’s annoying for people who have a job to do.”

“Speed means we can leave work later and get home sooner so it makes us richer, and families more stable”

Every year, several hundred people are killed in or by cars that are being driven too quickly. So what's to be done?
Well, I am afraid we have to start by looking at the bigger picture. And it's this. Speed is useful. Speed means we can get where we're going quicker, which means we can see more, do more and learn more. Speed makes us cleverer.

But never does a week go by when someone doesn't write to me saying their toddler was mown down by a maniac in a Subaru and it's all my fault.

I got one such missive only yesterday from some poor chap who's teenage, petrolhead son had ‘taken' the family Mercedes for a spin and killed himself in it. He enclosed a photograph of the wreckage, to hammer the point home. I've love at this point to say that I simply toss these letters in the bin and scoff. I'd love, even more, to say I write back saying that in a society where ordinary members of the public are allowed to drive around at 70mph in two ton chunks of metal, a little light death and bruising is inevitable. And I'd like to sign off by saying that actually, Britain has the lowest death rate on the roads in Europe, so it's hardly my fault that little Johnnie got wasted.

I just did... I was so hoping it would say "Did you mean to search for Jeremy Clarkson?"

 

[ufkacbln]

Is it not also a little bit "economical with the truth" when he lies about this being the first time?

He was banned from driving in France after being caught speeding........ somehow conveniently forgotten?

twatmus!!!!
Is that the forum swear-filter working overtime again and you meant daffodil?

Well if those are the only things that matter to you...

It would be a start though .....
