Keep in mind that it is in Clarkson's personality to be a bit of a bully, while James prefers the "gentleman's" approach, hence the tendency to dodge JC's shots, and just ride with them. Whereas Richard is the little guy who won't be pushed around. As with James being a presenter - he's actually a very good writer, and his columns and reviews on TG magazine rival Clarkson's, both in depth and in humour. They're all a good bunch. I would go as far as to say that those guys are the best set of presenters Top Gear has ever had. I would seriously like to see a female presenter on Top Gear though... one with a wit to match the blokes. I agree 95% with you in this post..... :shock: ...holy hell..me and fashion boy agreeing on something....the end is near.... and to the one who said JM is upper class I dont think so, he is a gentleman yes, but I think he is kind of a grease monkey who likes to get down and dirty working on his bikes... He also seem to be very knowledgeable on things, I like him and think the chemestry between him jezza and hamster are great they fullfill each other in a nice way, not sure I want to see a girl in the combo Im afraid it will take some of the jabs away and make it more dull.......I can be wrong of course, but I rarely am......

Depends on the woman. The last guest (Divina McCall) wasn't bad at all at the humour bit, but I think they need a woman with a wit that can put Clarkson in his place.

If they should add one more male host, it should be EVO Magazine's Richard Porter. He's actually the script editor for the Top Gear TV show, but he's one of the best motoring writers around as well.

In fact, I would go as far as to say that his editorials carry far more depth, and just as much humour, as Clarkson's and/or May's.

I think the hosting staff is pretty much full...they've got three great presenters, and I already think we don't see quite enough of James. Adding another would most likely have to cut in to JC's segment, as the others already have limited ones

As for women...I don't know man. If Vicky is the best that's out there(driving wise) i why? Granted the three lads hosting now aren't the best drivers, but they're the first the admit it. Besides which, they're not horrible. Vicky thinks she's Schumy with breasts, but makes the same damn mistake multiple times when launching a Vanquish S. When she sets flying laps for FG times I usually just cringe and fast forward...

I ve noticed a bit in one of the last episodes that in "news" Clark's joke or comment kind of touched James a bit, but Clarsod does to the people in public all the time Anyway I love the way JC presents cars One of the best its never boring

Spur, when pronounced, sounds like when you're vomitting... spuuuuuur ' What is the history of that name?

The name "Flying Spur" was chosen in 1961 for designating the 4 doors saloons with Bentley Continental chassis, and now the VW Group has reused that name for the saloon derived by the Continental GT



The first Continental Flying Spur:
