Journalismus vom Feinsten, hat er schließlich eine völlig andere Messlatte fürs Schreiben über Autos angelegt. Das fing damals anno 1700-nochwas schon an , als er seinen ersten GTI gefahren ist und getestet hat. Kriterium: "All very well this techological stuff, but will it pull birds?"

Mal durch die MSN-Seite gestöbert, einige Höhepunkte:

Clarkson mag Roccos, naja, den Einser

den 2er leider weniger

When visiting New Zealand in early 2009 with his Top Gear colleagues, Jeremy Clarkson was in the middle of nowhere and had an urge to play Risk - that ultimate boy's board game of world domination. But they had no Risk set. So he did the obvious thing - and sent a helicopter to the nearest town to pick one up.

Top Gear is a phenomenon, making pots of money for the BBC on the international stage. Clarkson himself doesn't do badly out of it: making around £1.8m a year from the show alone.

Clarkson could retire tomorrow, but the BBC knows that it needs him and Top Gear to help justify the licence fee in a multi-channel world.

Ach, deswegen läuft´s so schlecht bei den deutschen recht-öffentlichen Sendern ?

But although he has come close to the line on numerous occasions involving gay people ('very ginger beer'), lorry drivers ('check mirror and murder a prostitute'), Labour prime ministers ('one-eyed idiot') among many others, he always survives.

Das mit den LKW-Fahrern war damals echt der Hammer, kurz nachdem tatsächlich ein LKW-Fahrer in Ipswich eine Hure ermordet hatte.

After he waxed lovingly about the DB9 on Top Gear in 2004, Aston Martin sold a year's production the next day.

He enjoys a fag and a glass of wine and watches girls walking by with his chum James May. He sends a helicopter to buy a board game. He keeps an old jet fighter in his garden, and when the council tell him to remove it he claims it is a leaves' blower.

Ist schon ne interessante Sendung, nicht zuletzt seinetwegen.

Wenn ich überlege, was teilweise im kiesigen Fernsehen für Birnen versuchen ähnliche Sendungen zu machen wirds mir ganz anders.

Also Glückwunsch auch von Uns
