If you listen/watch the Joe Rogan interview, you'll realise why he's wearing this t-shirt in the 991 video

Really?  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I believe that - because I'm sure she could make most of us sick. I'm sure she could make 1 or 2 of the old top gear crew sick too. But to draw the conclusion he has travel sickness and isn't suitable for top gear? I think that's a half truth twisted.
Similarly the can't talk and drive? There are videos of him doing just that on YouTube - one with Jeremy clarkson in fact. He may not be able to talk when he's driving at his limit - but that would be a half truth twisted again. So - My impression is that it's still rubbish journalism taking one event and presenting as another for a better story.

Probably journalism made to fit a couple of grainy papparazi shots. Mind you if I was trying to read a script and do piece to camera whilst being chucked around by Frau Stig, I'd throw up.
I love Chris Harris. His writing in mags like Evo made him one of the best motoring hacks out there imho. Sabine? What's not to like? She's way more likeable that VBH. Evans, he can be an ar5e BUT, he's a petrolhead. As per comment above. It just needs to find it's own style. Ok, it probably won't be the massive hit that TG was before but to be honest, who wasn't getting bored of the three amigos being stupid? New project and it's green: www.projectoverland.info |

I think it's excellent news - like him more for his recent work, especially Episodes, which shows a good sense of fun
and he's a real Petrolhead. |

Joey from Friends! Is this a desperate attempt by the BBC and the ginger one to try and make TG more popular when it airs?
Trouble is anyone under the age of thirty five, has not a clue who Joey from Friends is. Let’s hope they do not replace the TG signature tune with that dreadful Friends ditty ‘I'll Be There for You’  For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I used to really like Chris Evans on TFI/Big Breakfast, a HUGE,HUGE amount.But he now really does obsessively bang off about himself, ALL THE TIME. "My mate has bought a new Jaguar,my mate owns a restaurant in the West end,etc".Really cannot listen to him on Radio 2.
His pathetic,weekly daily fail car reviews ALWAYS starts off with what HE did the previous day/week/month (imagine, 10 star holidays,etc). He almost never gives good reviews for even slightly, moderately priced cars.Give him a v-10 merc,sports car.And it is automatically 5 stars. Tho imho,I always thort Clarkson was a complete and utter bully.In a few years there WILL be books written about Clarkson by May and Hammond stating the same. Pov.spec,ftw. 2006, 110,TD5. |

Friends. I remember that, sadly. It was a bit like a sit-com, only without the 'com'. Chris |

During the over long period of Friend series from the mid-nineties to 2004 I used to sit in a corner and paint a piece of wood and watch the paint dry, I found that was more entertaining and less predictable than watching four overpaid wooden actors trying to do comedy.
Plus shock horror at the BBC. Matt LeBlanc aka Joey was paid $1 million per episode for Friends, so how much of our Licence fee are the luvies at the BBC paying Matt LeBlanc to co-host TG. If it is more than £100.00 for an expanding waist line has been, then then we are being ripped off. 
Sorry just polished my cynicism hat. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
