Default your favourite TG/5th Gear presenter

Once there are many ways of commentating a car program, and each presenter has his own way or personality to present a program(for instance, Jeremy Clarkson presents the program from a funny way, and Tiff Needell presents it from a technical way)....there are people who prefer the way of presenting of Jeremy Clarkson, and on the other side there are people as well who prefer the way of presenting of Tiff, and also there are people who prefer the way of presenting of Vicki...she is funny, but her comments are technical as well

Or there are other ways to prefer other presenters way, such as Richard Hammond, James May.....

In my opinion, my favourite one is Tiff, followed by Vicki, and Richard Hammond,

2. Tiff
- For his drifting skills
- decent delivery overall
3. Vicki

- Cool driver

my favourite is definately Jeremy Clarkson. his funny way of presenting the program really appeals to me and i really agree with most of what he says (i.e. about looks, sounds) so i know i can trust his opinion.

the rest are all good, but of course Tiff is a class of his own. I have to say though, i really enjoyed watching Vicki's review of the 360CS.

You can also refer to this topic for more opinions: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...?p=52099#52099

Anyway again, for me Jeremy is the best, especially because he can present anything, from cars to inventions to personalities, countries and so on

More important, Kevin from Pulling Power is the worst ever

Anyone else like those little orgasm's that Vicki catches from time to time?

Top fave:
1.- James, from TG. He's more knowledge that the Hamster, does't changes his opinions every 5 minutes, and...I just like his reviews
2.- Tiff, he's looks to be the best driver and has the best opinions about a car and it's handling, etc. Doesn't goes with JC's sensible trousers.
3.- Tie with Quentin and Jason. Excellent opinions... finishing point.
4.- VBH, Weird that a girl does good reviews of cars. She doesn't gives out because a car is "nice" or "cute"
5.- JC, makes me laugh and enjoy even with the boring cars (such as rovers)

The least fave:
1.- ALL from pulling power, they give me the freaks
2.- The fat bloke, aka Tom, from 5th. Seems he's out of his bussiness
3.- the other fat guy from TG (don't remember his name),his replacement is James. Even when he knew lots of used cars, he didn't fitted in the show
4.- JC, sometimes makes me... I don't know...I simply just don't like some of his reviews. He gives 9 of 10 to an awful car only because it's a british, or he simply wants to

Without a doubt, Jeremy is my favourite presenter. No only is he funny, I like that fact that he's not afraid to voice his own opinions. Of course, his taste can be a bit strange at times....

It's taken me awhile to get used to it, but I think I can safely say that Jeremy is starting to edge Tiff out. I used to get annoyed by Jeremy's rather strong biases and opinions, but the humor comes bubbling out of him a mile a minute. Well, either it's him, or the writers for Top Gear are just that damn good. Tiff, I still have all the respects for, though. The man most certainly knows how to drive. Perhaps one day, they'll run him against the Stig in a one-on-one bragging-rights race around the Nurburging. I'd pay to see THAT

And Vicki? Stop me before I get started
