To put it simply he's a twat, a twat of the grandest nature. When he left Top Gear I thought to myself 'Thank god that twat is away we might get somebody to review cars instead of a twat talking drivel for a few minutes and fantasizing about Ford ..... I mean Jaguar' or was it Ferrari he always loved. Never mind as apparently he's now has both in his driveway. There's 2 camps in this world Ford men and GM men and never the twain shall meet. He should get a job as a talk show host on a Sunday night to keep him out of harms way........
