It does seem that the motoring journalist/writers/photographers of the UK seem to have a combined dislike for the Cyclops of the North. Jeremy seems to lead the pack followed closely by our very own Trevor!
I have to say I did sign the "Jeremy Clarkson for Prime Minister" petition thinking it was a bit of a wheeze at the time, but in hindsight we should all have taken to the streets with banners!
At least with "Jezza" it would have been a fun, fast & furious drive to disaster. Tyres would have been squealing, rubber burning, and the pit lane would definitely have been lined with beautiful girls. We'd all have had a beer in our hand, a song in our heart and a smile on our face as the ship went down somewhere off the "English Riviera" on a bright sunny July day. With Gordon its just numbing resigned disbelief while drinking cold tea and eatting soggy biscuits in the drizzle as the ship slowly sinks beneath the cold grey waves just off Grimsby in mid February.
On the bright side though my engine should be back sometime in March, so I might be able to squander the last of my hard earned on some petrol come April! Thats
"No More Pretend Trips!". The real thing will soon be mine! Still not getting to excited, as I've been here before.
Best keep practicing the "Vrmmmmmm Vrmmmmmm". But the fingers are crossed!
