haha ive never read so much rubbish in my life, sensible driving techniques, and features on other transport, well they did, the guys took the plane didnt they. And they often blow up caravans, they are a health hazard on there own.
"Perhaps he would like to drive a bus; he’d find it just as much fun as a Ferrari.” yeah right...

"danger of promoting irresponsible driver behaviour and an obsession with big cars, while ignoring the interests of most women drivers"

Wow, talk about an oxymoron.

In an infamous episode, Jeremy Clarkson tore up on camera information from Transport 2000’s website presenting the dangers of speed.
Aha! now we see the true reason behind the report

I'd love to see Jeremy (what sort of name is that) have to use public transport, use a bike or test the strength of a Toyota pickup from the inside

However driving up Ben Tongue and generally making a mess of the place was not a good idea
