Haven't watched this dire programme for many years, however I do believe Jeremy Clarkson once punched Piers Morgan right in his smug face. As far as I'm aware, none of the new TG so-called presenters has done this.

Well, whatever you think of him his car collection beats mine hands down. So who's the pillock?! :D

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/gallery/top-gear-presenter-chris-evanss-car-collection-in-pictures/

..... and this isn't all of them. I believe he currently has a LaFerrari and a considerable number of other exotic pieces of machinery.

It's not his car collection that makes him a d!ck its how he wants everyone to know what he has !!!! Have you read any of his articles such as in the Top Gear mag? Listened to Radio2 ? heh

The three stooges from the 'Old' last of the summer 'Top Gear' wine had nice car collections but don't continuously brag about it to the lower achievers..:) ...and weren't always name dropping were they ?!? No

Was Evans ostracised as a child ?!?

Evans is no fool, worth many millions, he has created TV shows which are showed and copied all over the world. So made perfect sense for TG is a total petrolhead, runs his 2 car shows every year for Children in Need.
But it just did not work with him, this was not his creation, and it showed. He was being asked to be the new JC and that is not him. I mean they even said the same words when talking about the Stig.
The 2nd series should be MLC as lead with Sabine in the studio with him.

Sabine, no, Chris Harris, Yes.

Sabines too hard to understand, i'm sorry, it's just the german accent, nothing to do with her, you don't want viewers to be strained listening to something. She's fine for segments. Not for the entire presentation of the show.

Come off it Manders, how can a Brummie have a go at not being able to understand an accent? :D

Leave Sabine alone! (I'm starting to develop a bit of a crush on her :love:)

Ey! that's a black country accent, not a Brummie one. Anywayyyyy, I have no issue with her, she's a brilliant driver.I just feel for a programme as big as it was / could still be, having such a hard accent to listen to will be tough for the viewership.

He does have a LaFerrari, there was someone on here that saw him in it and put a couple of pics up.

He had one of the 1st La Ferraris in the UK. He took it to The Supercar day at Dunsfold 2(?) years ago and did passenger laps in it for charity. Think it was pretty much brand new when it got there and he seemed to drive it in anger too.


Edit. Just realised that's the video posted. Amazed my memory served me so well lol

A pillock with an impressive car collection and loads of money is still a pillock at the end of the day!

As the saying goes... you can't polish a turd!

Sabine, no, Chris Harris, Yes.

Fair play to Evans for recognising what he needed to do.
I didn't know he topped himself? Must have missed the news this evening
