At least he is a proper car fanatic. And I personally think he can be quite funny too so I am alright with this!

I read the rumours a few weeks back, not sure if he'll be as good as JC but I'll give it a shot and see what it's like in it's new format.

Mind you he's spent the past few weeks denying that he was going to do it and he had no interest in doing TG. Suppose it was nailed on after all the deniles!

Will Hamond and May stay on, or have they walked along with JC?

I will miss Hammond because he is very entertaining and knows his stuff. I will never forget him trying to drive that F1 car. He was honest enough to admit he couldn't drive it.

Well Evans has had spectacular "fails" in the past, so this will be no different!

Surprised that the PC BBC have replaced Clarkson with another Englishman, although this one is famous for his leftward leanings, so he may get on OK, as long as he follows the PC edited script and keeps his nose clean!
