First I had to copy that posting - thank you man - but i totally agree with it!!!
Jeremy, Oh man... The best TV show host EVER! He is absolutely brilliant and sooo honest about why cars suck. I love that guy. No one will be able to replace him...unless it was himself!!!
Only if I lived in England, I'd never miss a single Top Gear show.
The most important thing for me isn't jeremys driving - it's the passion he has for cars! - and that is the point - than he has the typical british humor.
I miss such hosts in austria.
German car shows are like: "..bla bla .. not much space on the backseats,
too much fuel consumption , bla bla
nothing about how the car feels, reacts, sounds , .....
jeremy shows the passion!!!
the greatest rides he did was in an original ford gt40 - i have seen the video many times and i still get a "goose-skin" when he euphoricly says "I have a faboulus wife, two happy children ...BUT THIS IS IT!!!"
- You really saw how he felt when driving the GT40.
and jeremy and that whole bbc-topgear crew just is so cool - has anyone seen the episode, where jeremy showed how to park a lamborghini countach - he went to the car - started the screaming loud engine - and showed how to park a countach - and he did it the "lamborghini style" and everything happened in the studio - just mega-cool.
Never possible in an german-car show - "how are the noise and emission-regulations in a studio -----bla bla bla"
so for me - jeremy is the man - but i also like tiff needell - also a great host. - and the better driver - i think .
