Jeremy Clarkson is a pure entertainer. He makes everyone of his reviews interesting. The best part of him is that he reviews cars from an average person's point of view, not a race car driver's point of view.

He is a good entetainer, but after seing him live at mph03, he aint as quick without the help of video editing!! But he is a good presenter, his sense of humor gets a little tedious after a while but at the moment there is no one to challenge him. That other short bloke on top gear is quite amusing tho.

He is a very good presenter, very funny most of the times. He's not the perfect driver but can entertain us with his very good reviews. I like it.

Explain please. That sounds funny.
Yea, Jeremy Clarkson is amazing. I don't care about how fast cars lap a test track, I just don't care. But I do find amusing and fun to watch Clarkson balm around in a Holden Monaro saying it is a drunk XKR. And the bit about the Horse pushing a car, AKA "Horsha" was gold. I'm still laughing about that.

I think Jeremy's a better driver than people give him credit for. I mean, he can powerslide a Koenigsegg, or he can do donuts in a Diablo...most people can't do that stuff. Most people never even get a chance to try. It's only because he's always compared to Tiff that he seems like a bad driver, and he even admitted that the F50 is too much car for him to drive.
Ever read his columns in the magazine? He's just as funny in writing.

Not like tiff doesn't lose control of the car. If you've seen his Burning Rubber DVD, you'll see him losing control in every car featured in the video. Oh, not to mention he stalled the lister storm! Yes, jeremy is not as good as tiff but the main difference is, jeremy wants you to laugh at his "poor driving" and tiff wants people to admire his driving skills.

Yes Alien, even Tiff makes mistakes, but even monkeys falls from trees... Jeremy is funny, has some driving skills, but what he says about cars is the opinion of the avarage driver,not so skilled but not like "worst driver people"
I mean, he can go sideway with Zonda, Koenigsegg and so on, but I've seen while he was driving the Zonda, the CC8S and even the F50, he can't heel-and-toe...Yes, no doubt,he's great, funny, entertaining,but when it come to drive, Tiff wins hands down

Is that the one where he tries to drive the car from the rear seats?
I love that episode where he does that. He actually drove the car with a few sticks and some rope, but it didn't last for that long. He crashed the front bumper and when the other host (the short one) read the insurance paper, and when the paper asked where he was at the moment when the crash accured, it said in the rear seats. It was a hilarious episode.
But my all time favorite must be the one hwere he drove the Noble and said that the car sounded like Obi-van-kenobi (or somethin' like that) from Star wars when the turbo engaged.

Jeremy Is the best host in the world, i'm not guite so sure about the sl 55 amg for the ferrari 355, yes the sl 55 is a really fast and good looking car, but a ferrari is a ferrari and no-one can beat it. I still think he's better than tiff needel and richard hammonds just a midget
The Best ever concept car
