    You don't become world famous without pushing the envelope.

    I like Clarkson, very entertaining. Of course, he's the most opinionated motoring personality that ever lived so you really have to take his statements with a grain of salt.

    Top Gear wouldn't be Top Gear if it was Hammond, May, and Tiff hosting.

    i 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...

    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.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    The Clarkson Effect

    Like him or not, some of his reviews do affect car sales in their home country.

    kahit ako muntik na mapabili ng ford fiesta eh based doon sa ginawa niya.

    then i woke up, i do not need such vehicle.(test drove one, lot of blind spot, maybe because it's too low- hindi sanay, side mirror is just too small, rear window is just too small, rear view mirror is too small- im not bashing it, it's a good car- mt tranny only)- but the agent was happy since my attention went to the explorer and i bought one eventually(since during that time daming ek ek ng dealer sa explorer)

    Specially when Tiff is driving and Vicki is hanging on for dear life. :-)
