James May is a good driver, if you look on some of the episodes where they are on beaches, he powerslides the cars with ease, they just dont show him driving well because its part of his "character"
Cool video, seen it on tv already tho

Most people dont know who Clarkson is ... he hosts Top Gear and has publicly stated he HATES bikes and he HATES bikers , hes gone so far as to say they should be killed , so watoosh, clearly you are backing this mentality and attitude. Clarkson is the scum of the earth and his rantings is why so many bikers in UK are killed and injured on our roads cos car drivers are following his mantra.

flag stu666 (January 1, 2008 at 10:12) (Below Threshold) show comment
Andy, sorry but you are wrong with absolutely everything you just said, ranging from the small fact that jeremy clarkson "co-hosts" top gear to the relatively large one that he does not hate bikers, and to be honest any views he does express are towards bikes with engines... he has stated in an interview with a motorcycle magazine that he has nothing against bikes or bikers nd the reason he does not ride one is due to a bad experience when he was younger involving a motorcycle. Any detrimental comments towards bikes are just said to wind up his co-hosts james may and the other one. Anyway, listen to yourself, youre saying that car drivers hear clarkson going on about bikes and they all decide to go out and hunt down bikers, come on, thats clearly not right. Obviously youre one of the "most people (who) dont know who Clarkson is"...

Obviously, rotato, you missed the point. They were showcasing Gee's skill on a bike more so than they were showing off a car. Watch Top Gear more and you might of caught on quicker. The show actually has a personality of its own. That said, a worthy VOD.
