Default Top Gear Presenters

Hmm . . . . what's the opinion of the new presenters BBC have announced for Top Gear, Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff along with current presenter Chris Harris.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? I see from the PR pics they are all wearing hackneyed cow skin from Maison Du Clarkson. Plus ca change?

I really liked Rory Reid...should have kept him. I see he's moved to lucrative online pastures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPhj3-E7rcs Sabine Schmidt was of course hewn from 48 Carat-Awesomeness and should still be on TV.

Given Freddie is there, can I request Moeen Ali vs Virat Kohli on the track please? Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iight!!!!!

Flintoff will do anything for his massive ego, McGuiness, comedy? value Only Chris Harris has motoring credentials. It's a no from me

Yet another program where personalities more important than subject matter, a program about cars should tell me about the car itself, show engine, suspension, talk about the manufacturer's philosophy, and discuss in detail things like costs to run and service etc, don't want to see a bunch of 'enthusiast' driving expensive and out of reach cars about, want to see comments based on facts not enthusiast preferences, best cars in world for example are made by the Japanese, why ? because they are most reliable, German cars perceived to be best, in practice not the case, Audi A4 for example one of the most unreliable saloon made, Mercedes cars are very expensive to buy, maintain and fix when they go wrong, and wrong they will go, so only the rich can afford to buy, BMW, who cares, everyone has one including my dog, and by following the enthusiast trail car companies go bankrupt ( think of anyone in particular here?)
So don't care about presenters or their opinions, I make my own mind up.
