Horses for courses, I'm afraid. I like his sense of humour. He has a formidable amount of knowledge about all things mechanical, has a PPL, has his own aircraft (his second), spends the money he makes from broadcasting on boys toys, like motorbikes, a Porsche Boxster a Rolls Corniche and various other cars. I do a more down to earth kind of thing. No point me trying to do what he, Clarkson and Hammond do (which I happen to like a lot). No point in them trying to do what I do (they'd make far less money). What they have done is got more people watching programmes about cars than ever before, by making it entertaining. And they keep your TV licence fee down because the BBC is able to market Top Gear throughout the world and make more money from it than from any other programme.
