Just watched the new season opener of Top Gear and caught 2 seconds of this:



He was leaving the track as RH watches.

Given all the quick BS turnovers over here I'm pleasantly surprised that, of all people, JC would still be driving his BS. (thought he'd be moved on to the LP470 Superleggera by now ) Oh yeah, he gave it a little WOT on his way out too.

Not too surprised; Clarkson's review of the BS is one of Top Gear's finest episodes IMO. The camera work, his words, the scenery...and he clearly loves the car. Can't blame him.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that whatever Clarkson got to replace the BS will be badass.

I think he was simply rebuffing JMay's stab at him (he was wearing bright red MB F1 Jersey)...he can't be serious! I mean, have you seen the Ferrari clothing line and those ppl who wears them? Talk about D-bag transformations...
