Their gear as per the link all looks pretty reasonable for blokes with heaps of money. If I lived in the UK with heaps of cash I'd buy a bloody great historical country mansion and half a dozen cars too.

or become an irish citizen, buy a heritage castle, saying you'll fix it and pay no tax , then live where you want, hey bono and bob

apparently , the three of them were due to sign new contracts until 2018 , this could be their way out , I could understand them not wanting too , but this is an extreme way of dissolving the relationship with the Beeb

Always makes me smile , when they call the Holden HSV a Vauxhall , with no acknowledgement of its Australian roots .
Ummm ... I've seen them present the car twice (second time was an updated version or whatever). They DID make a big thing about its Australian roots!

Bet its just a publicity stunt.

Cant see the BBC getting rid of the 'goose that lays golden eggs'!

Seems there is a lot of bad blood between Clarkson and a senior BBC idiot who it seems will use any excuse to try and get rid of him.

I don't think the shows producer is the major issue, it's the idiot further up the food chain.

News report also say that Clarkson reported the incident himself......

Too many
It would be suicide for the BBC to sack him. I highly doubt and hope they don't, the mix will never be the same otherwise.

It's a bloke called Danny Cohen who wants him gone , I think Jeremy Clarkson is a complete nob end , but he does make the show , in its current format I reckon Top Gear as we know it is over .

Yeah, he is a knob (quoting Captain Slow) but he makes the show. Without Clarkson it would be like watching Aussie Top Gear :)

Apparently his contract is up this month......
