Bring back Clarkson and the Balding Guy (forget his name, but he advertises insure.co.uk on the telly).

While we're about it Tony Mason & the dizzy blond. The one who crashed the milk float. At least Tiff's still there.

I agree completely. I think that at the end of this series, the producers should have a long hard think about how to improve things. To aid them, here are my suggestions:
1. Hire Louise Aitken Walker (probably not called Walker now) and her co-driver. They were a very sucessful rally partnership, well, not too long ago.
2. Sack VBH, Jason (who is now looking _very_ bored) and that other bloke. I'll do it if they like.
3. Pay Tiff more money and bring in the smooth bloke who came second on the Driven presenter competition.
4. Revise the program to a quiiz format, have Tiff as the host and two teams of two people answering questions over 30 minutes. Call it They think it's tick-over, Never mind the Beemers, or I love 1908cc XUD engines, ...
5. That'll do for starters.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Lee.

i think the guy who came first in the driven competition was the best of the three, as the guy who came second was a smarmy person.

It needs more BALLS - in every sense. Why should we have to wait for the once-a-year JD Power results. At least Quentin ( he of the lop sided smile and twisted epithets) covered many more ownership/reliability stories than the current breed can be bothered with ( do any of them actually OWN a car? ). And all that tearing about on disused runways, somone needs to grow up- none of that kind of so-called 'performance' can be used on today's roads, Tiff. Anybody browsing this site alone cannot fail to be aware of the issues which bore and frustrate the guts out of the average motorist/tax mule - increasing unreliability in new vehicles, complacent main agents when it comes to servicing/parts availability, criminal depreciation rates, blocked motorways and hideous levels of fuel duty ( neither the Chancellor nor the Transport Secretary possesses a Driving Licence, by the way ). There are more than enough eco/socio/techno issues out there to fill Top Gear from now until Doomsday but there are none so blind as those who will not see. Get rid of the little lads, and VBH ( a token ?) and recruit some real street cred fighters who can perhaps make a difference. Or is it all for amusement only?

Obviously he was better, seeing as he won. Don't see how being smarmy preculdes you from TV, Barrymore would be out of a job otherwise
|
|
the publis need someone who doesnt look and act like a used car salesman.
|
|
Don't agree, it's one of the reasons I think Mike Brewer is probably the best car presenter on TV
|
|
i meant someone who doesnt look like a smarmy new car salesperson, the same kind as the one in the saab showroom in newcastle, as they look at you, like you are beneath them.

Ah - I get you
I remember the tale of two salespeople - one in a Hyundai dealership in Darlington, who had absolutely no time for me when I enquired about the Coupe.
The other, Audi at Silverlink, couldn't do enough for me when I was interested in the A3. This was a couple of years ago, but surprised me - I think the Audi would probably sell itself, the Hyundai, well, I think it needs all the help it could get.
Course, I ended up buying another Citroen anyhow....
Cheers,
Lee
