I think...I woke up to read this http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol...cle2277500.ece
, although he does seem to be talking more about his Bentley.
So how many cars would he have now, i thought he was getting a Gallardo?

You do realise that wasn't written by Clarkson.

Ah right. So Clarkson isn't getting one but this AA Gill bloke is?
I thought we would have had another famous cool person among our ranks.

AA Gill is usually as funny as Clarkson (they do all sorts of crazy ***** together but thought that article was the worst I have ever read. Opened the paper this morning to see a huge picture of a mini and thought 'great, a review of the mini' except it wasn't. Not even slightly. In fact it was possibly the worst piece of journalism ever. He should stick to restaurants.

Clarkson has a Gallardo Spyder, an XC90, and a Ford Focus I think...

Dainewb · Aug 19th, 2007, 04:05 PM

I thought it was by Clarkson when I read it, due to it just being totally pointless and telling nothing whatsoever about the cars concerned

I thought Clarkson had a new Ford GT40 or has he got rid of this?

Jordan210 · Aug 19th, 2007, 06:04 PM

He sold the GT40 and now has a Lamborghini gallardo roadster but iv not seen him in it, He aslo has a SL55 AMG i think !

MINI&MERCGUY · Aug 19th, 2007, 06:47 PM

Jeremy currently has the following cars:

(i) SLK55 AMG - the SL55 was sold I believe.

(ii) Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
(iii) Volvo XC90
(iv) Ford Focus

I believe that his wife drives an AMV8 Vantage.

Jordan210 · Aug 19th, 2007, 07:01 PM

His wife drives the XC90 the most, He has a new merc not seen that about yet.

Some one told me a few days ago he has the GT40 back

big-kev · Aug 19th, 2007, 07:04 PM

The Focus is an ASBO by the way, but I guess you all knew that already

Ant FR · Aug 25th, 2007, 04:23 PM

no the Ford focus is not an asbo. Its Y plate 1.6 Focus, he's had it since brand new and mentions it in write ups every now and then. Its used as his station car is what he says. In fact if you go bac to when he top geared the ST he actually mentioned his y-plate focus on there.

Also its not a surprise he has got one as it was him who classed the R53 MCS as super cool on the cool wall. however not sure the R56 would get the same accolade....lol
