Probably the only American they could get who can drive a manual.

Ken Block failed the audition for that very reason.

DesVegas

Alright, well that could work (for about 3 episodes)

i'm glad they're changing it up, the old Top Gear was good until about 2006, then it was exactly the same every week....and i can't f*cking stand that little shitrat Richard Hammond.

Damon Hill still holds the record.

Obviously not in any way a desperate attempt to keep a foothold in the US market where the previous presenting trio were so popular and nobody knows who Chris Evans is.

Why not though? If it keeps Auntie in bloomers by hiring a genuine car fan who's popular on both sides of the Atlantic and retaining a market then everybody's a winner.

Joey maybe made some friends at the beeb with episodes, I like the guy, could be fun.

Matt Le Plonk? Seriously? Well, that'll be two bell-ends, they just need another one to complete the trio now.
