    Cedric - I sound like a chipmunk on there. Some friends of mine were like, "were you going through puberty?" I was like, no I was already 20, I just sound like a girl.

    There's no such thing. Was it a 700 BHP RS200 or a 700 BHP Escort RS2000?
    Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

    He doesn't look like a much talented driver anyway...

    If he was a talented driver, Top Gear would not have to hire Stig to drive the cars around. He's a talented JOURNALIST, i really like the way he does the reviews on those cars... and he's a funny man as well... which is a plus. Ofcourse TG wouldnt want their audience to fall asleep while watching... like Tiff when he's doing a review... his reviews are booring...

    No, Tiff doesnt work for Top Gear anymore .. last I heard he works for 5th Gear (The Channel 5 version of Top Gear that uses the old Top Gear set).

    Of course he is more of a Journalist than a driver. But please don't come telling me he's less boring than Tiff. Someone who really wishes to understand cars, will always prefer Tiff. This is because he's talking about a cars abillity because he tried it out. What conclusions can Jeremy take when he keeps driving so steady and girly-style?
    Tiff clearly understands the feel of a car better than "simple" journalists.
    I'm not saying Jeremy isn't fun or that I don't like it. He just doesn't really test the cars. He just takes a "walk in the park", while Tiff take's everything the car has to give and gets excited about it.
    I prefer to see Jason Plato's test's like the one of the F430. At least we see some real tail action!

    i like the music the stig listens to!

    on the zonda/murcielago bit, jeremy drove both, and kept saying the lamborghini was faster around the corners, and then when the Zonda put a lap time 6 secs faster than the murcielago, he was kind of refusing to admit that the zonda won "well, i guess the zonda must have made that all up in the straights, because i drove both cars, i knoe, the lamborghini is faster in the turns."

    he drives like a sissy, all straight and what not, and he said the zonda was the fastest car ever on the test track, getting up to 174.1, but then when talking about the audi RS6 he said he saw 175 on the test track, now the audi is a very fast car, but theres no way its faster than a zonda, so im a bit confused

    Wrong, The fastest speed on the track was set by the zonda at 170 mph. That was before he tested the koinigsegg(can't spell it) in which he did 174.1mph
