Quite an assumption you make there GN?

Yep - guilty - just like everyone else that has posted on the said subject - we have all read / heard / formed our own opinions and posted on it -fact is that none of us know exactly what was said and how much or how little either party was provoked.

Lakes eh? Was that the Paragon/McLaren technical centre by any chance?

Can't say at present but several of the UK based F1 teams have lakes that are formed around their HQ facilities - I also reckon that I have managed works on all of them over the years.

Read these in order please including the comments at the bottom of those news articles thanks

So has Clarkson being sacked been fuel to the flames of their desire?
Because sure does look like it from here! Because she can spin it to make it look like she got what she wanted from the BBC.

Jeremy Clarkson met with co-star James May and Top Gear boss Andy Wilman in a secret meeting today, as the trio continue to plot their next career move.

Clarkson, 54, is said to be weighing up his options after being dropped from the BBC yesterday for punching producer Oisin Tymon.

Mr May and fellow co-star Richard Hammond are both expected to leave the show with him, after claiming the trio ‘come as a package’.

However, in a hint that the Top Gear contingent may be planning to work together again, they were spotted together – minus Mr Hammond who lives in Herefordshire – following a secret meeting in London today.

They will soon get another tv company to sign them up for far less than they are paying the Premier league to transmit their pig bladder kicking matches. The sums that Sky and the BBc are paying them is insane but probably good business . Biggest problem is what to call their programme. Can't be Top Gear as that is owned by the BBC, can't be Men behaving badly as that's been done by Martin Clunes, only thing left is Prats Behaving Badly which seems to be in line with their programme style. If they need someone to play the part of an elderly prat for a million a year I'm sure I could fit the bill. Please pass the message on

If May goes as well and Hammond stays for a bit. There would need two or three to replace those that aren't there!
How about we think of combinations that might work and give reasons why!

1st group suggestion
Stephen Fry
As he is a confirmed petrol head he is seriously into gadgets and is a good presenter and willing to send himself up!

Chris Evans
Also a car nut in the extreme (remember the bit about May borrowing a certain Italian car worth serious money) He is a comedian and presenter another who is willing to send himself up!

Where Fry is a bit like May. Evans was always hyper if I remember(not seen the programmes he is on for a while) Which Would make Hammond the odd one for a bit unless they replace him with Steve Coogan!
Unless they get borris Johnson as he has done motoring reviews anf cocked up plenty of times.

Anybody else got ideas on who they might put in the show?

And Ideas for name of Clarkson and possibly May's Motor show on another channel!

Piston Heads
Prats 'R' us!

Give the gig to Fuzz, Phil and Tim please.

Now it's getting really stupid - death threats: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32103665

Agreed, it's just a TV show for goodness sake.

I've come the conclusion that these people have such sad, pathetic and unfulfilling lives that their entire existence relies on a fantasy 1 hour TV show on Sunday nights. Rather than killing the producer or head of the BBC, they'd really be better off killing themselves!

Thirded. I'm amazed - and a bit disappointed - that there's so much discussion and concern for this issue (and TG in general) on this forum to be honest.
