To be fair, if I thought he actually meant some of the more outrageous things he's said, then I would consider him to be a complete b........
I assume he is just a charicature of himself, constantly and deliberately lampooning "accepted opinion".

I can exand if you wish. the bottom line is its a guy who is publicchoboy totally pro establishmnt pretnding to be a maverik rebel, because he gets to drive fast cars which we can't afford. his humour is totally mainstram and his targets are sitting adth jokeis never at his own expense. he has his moments (Given his airtime he must have some eventually) but basically it has all ben said and done better by 101 other people. as for fast cars, I like nice cars and apprecite fine wormanship. But these wanabe playboys just encourage boy racers to speed and buy cars they cant afford
worst of all behind the jeans and big hair and irreverent manner, he takes himself seriously there is no self deprecation, jeremy (Or is it Jezza to mates?) rates himself with his poodle hair, in his dangerous shirts and baggy jeans and combo boots saying I dont give a damn. (all carefuly hand picked by wardrobe with blusher and perm).
You like straight talkers and maveriks Follow real mavericks, try bill hicks or a richard pryor.
I dont dislike the man, I just dont rate him,there are endlessly funnier and more honest men and zillions who sell cars better
Clarkson is an arrogant prat

BBM, you were losing me there until you mentioned the jeans, and then I caught your drift absolutely. Clarkson should not wear those jeans. They make him, as Victor Lewis-Smith keeps pointing out, like a toffee apple with a blue stick. Which is to say, a complete plonker who unnaccountably fancies himself something rotten.
