Why make this kind of thread?
BTT: I like him because he's entertaining.
But Tiff Needell's reviews are better than Jeremy.

Clarkson driven out: Presenter flees Argentina as mob threatens to 'barbecue' him after inciting Falklands outrage with H982 FKL number plate
Jeremy Clarkson was forced to flee Argentina under police escort as furious protesters vowed to ‘barbecue’ him, it was revealed last night.
The Top Gear host was hounded out by Falklands War veterans after driving a car with the number plate H982 FKL – which they claim referred to the 1982 conflict.
He and fellow presenters Richard Hammond and James May fled their hotel after the lobby was invaded by angry ex-military personnel who told them to leave ‘or face the consequences’.
Staff told how the demonstrators shouted insults until they were removed by officers, forcing the crew to leave so hurriedly they forgot a computer.
The presenters then left for the nearest airport in order to catch the last flight to Buenos Aires, where they boarded another plane to Chile yesterday.
But other members of the BBC2 motoring show’s crew were pelted with stones by a jeering mob as they made their way to the border by road. All the cars used by the presenters had windows broken.
A number of vehicles were abandoned, including the Porsche with the controversial plate that Clarkson, 54, was driving in the southern province of Tierra del Fuego for a special edition of the show.
The 25-strong crew were saved from a second attack when they were smuggled by police and government officials down a remote route to the border.
Locals used social networking sites to comment on the convoy’s progress, with one posting the chilling message: ‘We’re going to make a barbecue with their meat on the border.’
Another said: ‘It looks like Jeremy Clarkson got a taste of his own medicine.’ And another labelled him a ‘British idiot’.
War veteran association member Osvaldo Hilliar said the crew had ignored strong ‘local feeling’ about the Falklands.
He added: ‘We told them we couldn’t guarantee their security if they didn’t leave.’ Despite claims by Top Gear that the choice of number plate was a coincidence, Argentine officials say it was a deliberate provocation.
Local mayor Gustavo Melella vowed to make an official protest to the British Embassy in Argentina. ‘We are peace-loving people but they’ve generated the initial violence by coming to our country in the way they have,’ he said.
A BBC spokesman said last night: ‘We’re pleased the team is safe and would like to thank all of those who have helped.’

October 5th, 2014 02:22 AM #7I love him. As early as 2005? Ive been watching him. I had a friend laughing at me when he found out i was watching autofocus and threw a topgear dvd at me. Been hooked since. Not so much for the facts but more on the british humor and the cinematography! How beautifully shot those topgear vids are. Pikon argentinians. As pikon as pinoys. I dont hate him for his racist remarks. Mas racist pa pinoy. I agree, i dont think he'll ever be sacked. Hes an effing money machine.

October 5th, 2014 04:29 AM #9i watch topgear because of his antics, like fording the ford fiesta on the beach as if it is an assault amphibious vehicle heck with british commandos on board, but he is a racist fool. the fifth gear guy tiff gives good reviews, but he is just plane boring to watch, boss niky's reply here in this forum is much more exciting to read than watching tiff.
if i want a plain unbiased professional review, i'd pm boss nicky than start a thread and i seriously consider the boss's opinion

Hahaha... here, I try to give all the facts from all sides... but come review time... there's no such thing as unbiased...
A car review is a subjective thing... what's "comfortable" or "fast" or "exciting" or "relaxing" to one reviewer isn't to another. I try to present an unbiased opinion, as much as possible, but in the end... if I really like a car, even if it is a terrible POS... I really like it...
Review: 2012 Suzuki Jimny, Philippine Spec, Tested In The Philippines | The Truth About Cars
You can be factual... entirely subjective, and entertaining. Sometimes... just sometimes Clarkson forgets the first part. :p Tiff is a better judge of car dynamics and driving at the limit... but Clarkson is a better presenter and journalist.
Still... Neither is quite as easy on the eyes as Vicki Butler-Henderson.
