No way! He's a good car reviewer but that's it. He hasn't got the slightest sense of humour and reacts quite oddly in some situations. I much, much prefer Jethro Bovingdon from EVO, he's much more entertaining than Chris, with probably equal driving skills.For Chris Harris to stand a chance on being the successor to Jeremy Clarkson in hosting Top Gear (when JC retires) this had to happen. Glad to see he's back in them.
I don't disagree about Jethro. I think he does some great reviews too and is a very good driver. Both James May and Jeremy Clarkson can't be far from retirement so there may be two spots up for grabs. Chris and Jethro?No way! He's a good car reviewer but that's it.

And he can drift too.![]()

That's not entirely true. You'd see quite a few Pagani's tooNo chance
There would be no car but Porsche with Hammond still there..
ha... very good point nick! no doubt any car as long as it starts with a 'p'!That's not entirely true. You'd see quite a few Pagani's too![]()
Pontiac? The Aztek is quite hot!ha... very good point nick! no doubt any car as long as it starts with a 'p'!
It's probably me, but the constant over doing it with drifting vacillates between boring and annoying. I love a nice drift here and there, particularly when correcting from coming in a touch too hot. There's some purpose to it. Or to even set up for a particular exit, ala rally.No way! He's a good car reviewer but that's it.

Was going to right something similar john.. Seems the flick and power slide is the only thing that's important. If you want to drift why not just go for the caterham, which wins the track car award for essentially the same reasons. It is a hoot to drive no doubt, but traction out of corners for example seems never to be mentioned anymore..It's probably me, but the constant over doing it with drifting vacillates between boring and annoying.

But this meaningless non purposeful drifting, is tiresome. It looks particularly dopey when they do the overhead helicopter shot, to show just how purposeless it is. They're going for "epic" in that shot, and what I see is "dopey."
Right, lets take a fast car to the track, to drive it in a way no one ever drives their car on the track. Very meaningful review.![]()
Yes for sure!Drifting is particularly fun though when you're not paying for the car/tyres....
Totally agree!It's probably me, but the constant over doing it with drifting vacillates between boring and annoying. I love a nice drift here and there, particularly when correcting from coming in a touch too hot. There's some purpose to it. Or to even set up for a particular exit, ala rally.
