Many thanks Lookin, that was absolutely delightful to watch again, and I must admit that if some higher power would say to me that I could have a brand new Veyron, but never have sex again...well I would be hard pressed for an answer. I would definitely need a minute to think about it.
Methinks that the show will die a quiet death without the 'Three Musketeers'. How they played off each other catapulted the show to astounding numbers and profits for the BBC. A million signatures and counting to bring him back. I read where the victim never reported the incident and it was Clarkson himself who reported it to the powers that be. I will venture a guess, that after a cooling off period they find a way to bring him back, racism and homophobia not withstanding.
