yeah, that was a badass video, I don't know about you but that Jeremy Clarkson (driver;host) irks me. Not because I'm envyous of his occupation , that's a given. But because his snide, arrogance and his round about way of insulting America's intelligence. Video rocked, though.

I heard what he said about us, but I dont care. What I care about is the Elise. That thing is gonna take over the Autocross events. Is there a clip that shows the race they were gonna do with it?

It's natural how you guys feel like, you are Americans or in some way been Americanized. Some of you guys might not even realize it when you come off very arrogant, but you do. That's how the rest of the world sees Americans as(arrogant self loving s.o.b.'s) Alot of the jokes in other parts of continents are at the American's expense, even as close as Canada. Yeah that guy does come off arrogant but at the same time he's cracking a joke and thats all it is in the end. No point of making anything of it. If you were an Iraqi you'd be cracking lots of American jokes on a daily basis. You can't be under the impression that everybody has to like us in all parts of the world, and get mad at whoever makes a joke at us. But anyways that video kicked alot of arse.

Oh, and I totally agree with you. I mean I make jokes about the rest of the world on a daily basis with no prejudice. I'm sure none of them would appreciate that, as I did not appreciate it.

You make a valid point, I would no doubt be a hypocrite had I continued to badger and chastise someone for making jokes about Americans. I would also get real damn tired seeing as how many jokes are made. I am in no way making a general statement about anyone nation of peolple I was just voicing my dislike for Jeremy Clarkson and come to think of it I don't have much of a basis to hate the guy, shyt I've never met him how can I even judge him. No w that I think about it he probably is a cool guy, I mean how much of a pric can he be? He loves cars and loves thrashing them, and that's fine in my book. Like how I pulled a total 180 on my opinion in the matter of 3 posts, you guys at NICO have helped me see the light. By the way I still think Jeremy Clarksons' a pompous pric! :)

Yeah a prick he maybe but I saw him in many other videos and it just amazes me how good he is at driving the wheels of these cars. He's definitly the exact opposite of our own "test drivers" on speed channel for motor week. Wish we had a fun show like that to watch over here, but then again we don't get as many cool cars as europe does so maybe it wouldn't be all that fun to watch them beat the crap out of the slow cars, but then again there was a show where he was beating the crap out of a Ford Puma, how fast could that be?

Couldn't agree with you more man, oh and I was just trying to be funny when I called him a pric after I had just retracted my previous statement and realized I shouln't judge people I don't know. Thought it would be funny. About Jeremy Clarkson, the dudes definately skilled and he can make even driving a Smart car look fun. The motoring shows in the UK and Europe are ten fold better than the ones in America. Not because they have access to more cars but because of the way they go about exploiting those cars in very creative ways. For example: the lotus and apache bit, my brother spent about a year in the UK and some of the bits he would tell me about were sick. I recall he told about this bit where they tried to teach grandmothers how blow donuts, that's genius. There used to be this program aired on Speedvision called Motorvision, it was a European show and it was sweet don't know what happened to it though, oh well.
