    True, but one has to remember a hell lot of luck was involved.

    Tis true. at least Clarkson was funny, even if it was crude. and the way he talks the whole way through the footage of a star in a reasonbly priced car drives me mental! plus he is only quitting cause he didnt like the look of the ratings I could say a lot more about him but Pat might have a heart attack rant over Mike drop Bobs your uncle
