Tiff all the way....more eciting to watch and DOES NOT CONTRADICT himself!

His driving still is much better and he knows what he talking about

I voted for Jeremy. Tiff is great too, but Jeremy makes me laugh all the time. That is why I voted for him.

they're both way better than eachother in different respects. tiff is a far better driver, jeremy is a far better presenter and commentator. throw in vicky's mature cuteness and weird english accent and you've got quite an entertaining trio of motorists

Uhm.. Tiff is the best driver, no doubt (and he has Vicki by his side), but Jeremy is WAY better host/presenter... so, since Tiff is winning to easily, my vote goes for JC :)

It's like comparing apples to pears, as they say in Dutch. I'd say they're complementary to each other.

JC fun to watch!

Tiff, his comments are repetitive sometimes...

They both rule & you can hardly find better car reviewers.

If I want to buy a new car & see a review about it first I want Tiff to test it out so I know how it drives & I want JC to test it to give me some more info on the rest of the car and make me laugh.

But JC is just the most entertaining one of the two... so I voted for him.

i voted JC

i have most,if not all his videos on vhs and dvd,and just got so used to listenin to his funny sense of humour.he is much better presenter no doubt

JC is my pick. Tiff is the man with the moves, but JC is the man with the mouth. The mouth is what keeps me laughing. Just thinking back on all the Jeremy vids I have seen, i can remember so many entertaining lines... JC has my vote

TT

Yeah, 50/50!!!

My vote is for Tiff, because he has VB-H and JC has Hammond, LOL. I think that Tiff is a much better driver and communicates what the car can and can't do unlike JC who just spins the cars. Yes, JC is more witty but this is because he has to do something to make up for his lack of driving skills.

I like them both but I think Tiff executes the review of a car`s overall performance and driving pleasure much better than Jeremy.. so my vote is for the Tiffster :lol:

I didn't cast my vote yet. I'll see to it that it equals out.

08-04-2003, 05:20 PM
hehe, cool Draak666... probably the best... I've allready seen much more of JC then Tiff and that's not really fare because the more I see them, the more I love their style. You've got to agree with me on this, the British have some great TV presenters. I don't know if you folks know Michael Palin, he does discovery trips around the world and allthough I'm not really into these things I still like the shows... that's more then enough said!!!

hehehe, how many times have I've got to hear that again :P

Now I don't have to do that anymore offcourse. But that was before this forum that I checked it regularly. That says enough about how much I was looking forward to the video's :)

Yes, you British got some great presenters. Not only for car shows (don't forget Quentin and Vicky) or the Monty Python people (got any of that lined up Jabba?). I also enjoy the comedy shows on the BBC, They think it's all over, Have I got news for you? etc. You British are so spoiled. :x

Thank God we get BBC 1 and 2 over here. That's a start.

Although Clarkson arguably has more personality, you can tell that Tiff really loves cars. And more importantly, he can really drive them. I always wince slightly when I see Clarkson trying to get a car sideways--it inevitably turns into an awkward slide that abruptly stops when the tires catch again. Ugggllllyyyy. Still, I wish Tiff had some humour (although the VBH angle kinda makes up for that :lol:).

I love Tiff when he drives the car hard. I love Jermery when he's teasing about the car.
Both are very special and talented car presenters unlike those in the us and canada.
Top Gear makes Jermery better because of the resourses they have to put on the show. I still want to know why Tiff opted for 5th gear instead of top gear.

anyway, i'll still pick Tiff ahead of Jermery

Tiffs review of the M5 is what got me interested in Top Gear in the first place so my vote goes to him.

i agree with some of the posts. They actually work well together. They both have their own individual strengths and weaknesses in their presentation. Its a shame they arent together anymore in Top Gear. Those were the good old days.

i had a hard time choosing, but i went with Tiff. Clarkson is funny, but Tiffs a good driver. Tiff gets the vote for driving the shit out of all kind of cars. too bad they both arent on the same show, with Vicki too

Man, why wasn't there a 'both' vote? :)

Admittedly, had you asked me this question about 6 months ago before I started seeing Top Gear and 5th Gear with any sort of volume, I probably would have said Tiff, outright. Nothing like a guy that you know is capable enough to thrash around just about any car successfully to inspire confidence in the opinions offered by the same person! He does the edgy thrill commentary to the hilt.

Jeremy took a while to grow on me, but I now think he's cool for his own reasons, just like everyone else. What Jeremy lacks in driver ability, he makes up for with humor and that rather scathingly sharp sarcastic tongue that knows no bounds of restraint (beyond what the BBC is willing to allow on TV, of course :) )

Now throw Vicki into the mix, and it's apples, oranges and buns.

Mmmm. Buns....

I find them both entertaining but i voted for Tiff. You just can't beat Tiff's comments as he's pushing a car to it's limits.

Jeremy... he sucks behind the wheels if compared to Tiff, however he is funnier, and has some creative stuff (Celebrity in a Reasonable Price Car, The Power Lap Time Board, Fastest Politician, Fastest White Van Man, Grannies Doing Doughnuts...).

Tiff is better driver, plus he has Vicki.

Overall: Clarkson.

Tiff driving with JC do the talking, that would be interesting :D
but I don't like the clip where JC trashed a Porsche 911.

I voted JK. Havent seen a show with him for a while. I like em both though. JK just makes me laugh more often.
