Jeremy Clarkson
20 March 2006 12:13Jeremy Clarkson is a highly opionionated git who loves cars, and I love his writing style.
"Things that appeal to your inner animalistic being — good food, sex
and drama — cannot also keep you dry in a rain shower or get your
flat-packed furniture home from the shop. The car appeals on every
level. Personal freedom. Practicality. Excitement. You’d have to be a
Darwinian oxbow lake to not want one.
Yet that’s what the modern day Trots and Bolsheviks want. For
you to replace your BMW with a cow. Even though a cow produces more
global warming gases than a BMW. And also doesn’t have electric
windows. "
