Really? I guees I could see that, though I've not heard him talk trash about Ford. He seems to love the Escort Cosworth and the Focus RS and of course was salivating for the GT.

I hadn't heard about the resolution of that. So he got it I see. But why'd he have to get rid of it?

Jeremy Clarkson
I didn’t even mind when it arrived at my house one month ago inside a truck which had “On Time” written down the side. As we know from America’s arrival into the second world war, their concept of “on time” differs slightly from ours.
The guy is a MAJOR TOOL! There is no disputing it, the guy HATES the US. But, who gives a crap, when you are talking about people that ignorant, it doesn't really matter. For some reason, he is just full of hate towards the US!

I've watched nearly every episode of the show and he's made the same jokes about the Australians, Germans, the French and damn near every other country that produces cars.

The Aussie GM and Ford boards don't go into hateful vitriol at jokes he makes, like when he cracked about that country when testing the Monaro. The tizzies you guys go into when he makes fun of US cars are more over-the-top than anything he's said on that show and it doesn't reflect well on this community. Relax, laugh, enjoy yourself, half of what he says isn't meant to be taken to heart.

Did you miss the part where he ordered his dream car - a Ford - over 2 years in advance?

Did you not pay attention in history and learn the US looked the other way while Germany was razing Europe in WWII?

The Aussies hardly ever get mentioned in comparison. And he hates Germans too, he is just as unabashed about that. Clearly you haven't watched as much as you claim. Or.... you've just revealed something major about yourself.

Perhaps it is the latter though given your comments on WWII, which are themselves insulting, aside from plainly ignorant.

Damn.... some people take this **** to the heart. I wonder what would happen to some of you if you were made fun of by a 5yr old. So big deal if they crack jokes I always have a good laugh when I watch Top Gear. It's all in good fun people stop being so damn sensitive.

The **** he says is ridiculous though, what was the point in bringing up WW2 (in which he should be thanking us about...) in his CAR review?

Seriously, every review he does on American cars he ends up talking about how "bad" America is, and hes not very kind about it, you can tell he has something against us.

The guy is a ****, thats all there is to it.

Don't get me wrong man.. I totally understand your point. But how many times do our television shows talk smack about other countries... for example Leno, Letterman, Conan. Theres always going to be trash talking on tv shows period. Everyone is guilty of it.
