I appreciate being able to see a variety of cars on the show while also learning a lot of new things.
Of course it's entertainment too. That's what makes it fun.

To be fair, he refers to himself as a fool. I don't think he takes himself seriously. Also, he is not a professional driver, he's a television host. I suspect, however, that he has more track time in fast and slow cars than the vast majority of renn listers. Hating on his driving skills is silly when what he's all about is talking while driving (sideways).
That being said, I am not a giant fan but do appreciate what he does most of the time.

Seriously though, you have to read more of Clarkson to realize that he spends 50% of his column ranting about something and then goes on to review the car, briefly. That's not to say that I don't enjoy him (I do) or respect his abilities (I do) but that he is less an automotive journalist (impartial and well-balanced) than he is an entertainer. IMHO.
Oh, and if you disagree with me, then you're wrong.

I wasn't criticizing anyone, I simply made an observation. You seem to be picking on me a lot lately. Please stop before I start to cry.

Latest road test from Jeremy Clarkson. Full of acerbic comments as usual.

Funny thing about that guy is that he is alway making fun of southern rednecks but he drives like one and acts like one. If it quacks like a duck ,walks like a duck, and looks like a duck , then it is a duck. He is the worst driver of the bunch and tears up beautiful cars, who in their right mind would loan this guy a car.
