Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy 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. "

He obviously makes some good points - the so-caled eco-mentalists are no less annoying than he can be with their insistence that they're right (and you're right, his writing style is great, though he does tend to resort to jingoism rather more than he should). What confuses me, though, is that this is the same person who a couple of years ago wrote a biting imagined future dialogue with his grandchildren about the folly of those "turn of the century" people for using up all the world's oil on things like cars and plastic bags...

I adore Top Gear, and have more than a few eps d/loaded, i dont particularly like cars, other than getting from a to b..
BUT i want a DB9 or a Zonda.. or both.
I want to have jeremy clarksons babies, and hopefully they'll be as funny as he is.
