    Top Gear is puerile tosh. That's why I like it.
    WHS. Good to see:

    (a) James May winning a race
    (b) Clarkson looking like a member of Kiss

      Funniest bit was the state Clarkson was in at the end of the race. Collapsed in a heap in the hotel bar covered in muck and coal dust

        I used to like Top Gear, but it's tedious now.

        Time for them all to retire.

          If you search for the HSE report on Hamonds accident I suspect it's no coincidence that Ben Collins has his name plastered all over it.

          Though sometimes people do send their own drivers.

            I think there's a fairly long list of programmes which should be ditched long before Top Gear, isn't there?

              That's why the stig made schumacher look rubbish in the reasonably priced car at the end. He was pi$$ed.
              And they say drink driving's dangerous?

                For a second i think maybe, he is retired and perhaps top gear him pay well.

                Then i remember the guy is already a $billionaire...

                  New Stig has been on the programme for a lot longer than Schumacher has been retired. He'd never have had the time to be The Stig whilst racing, even if Ferrari had let him, and even if he felt the need to work for The BBC whilst earning £26m per year elsewhere (it was something like that).

                  Apparently you could see Schumacher's private jet parked in the background.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    Even Schumacher's agent has a private jet!

                      Ladies and Gents - Herr Stig isn't Schumacher, surely. It's Ben Collins.
