I also read a piece where their test driver (the stig is it?) raves about vettes and says that clarkson is wrong half of the time. moral of the story: one stiff *** brit doesn't like the 350z. However the less-stiff-*** fifth gear chick is turned on by the sound of the damn car.

Clarkson can keep his boxsters and bimmers and ****, and I will spend less time in the shop and more time driving, yes, a nissan.

And don't worry...Z's obviously work on british chicks too

Funny how everyone gets excited about this man because they own a Z. You have to know Clarkson to know what he is like. I have followed his reports and write ups for years.

His books are great - one of my favourites is "I know you got soul".

All his books are all here....http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_...&Go.x=9&Go.y=5

You have to take it all with a pinch of salt.

At the end of the day he co created the latest version of Topgear and it is probably the biggest motoring show world wide. The idea is simple - a few lads cocking around with cars, nothing more serious. Thats tends to be his style although he does talk sense about a lot of vehicles. He does not even take himself too seriously, placing his Ford GT and then the new Gallardo on the Uncool section of the cool wall.

hahaha yeah that clarkson is a funny guy. i saw those videos a while back. it's funny how when he's interviewing the old z car owners in another episode, he asks one of them "who in their right mind would buy that? and think it's cool?" lol anyways like someone else said you got to take what he says with a grain of salt. i mean besides everybody's entitled to their opinion. i'm happy with my z. so whatever. still a great show.
