I didn't realise my (truthful) report would create such strong feeling!!

Rather akin to a real pratt (namely Noel Edmunds) Clarkson is ignorant or merely concerned with the effect of the program and not the reality. [Edmunds allegedly called all replica owners SAD, but these two live in world where money is unimportant. What was really sad was Edmunds bastardising a nice 40 with a lime green leather interior!!! You can have money a still no taste]

Personally I enjoy Clarksons style and he obviously genuinely likes the 40 concept. He did say the replicas on show were 'excellent' (muted to 'very good indeed' in the second take) and his little side kick (the personable Richard Hammond) added that many had Mustang engines - something the great unwashed public might associate with).

Ours is a very specialised world, Top Gear is created for the masses - mainly the Lexus IS variety if other attendees is anything to go by!

Take a look at one of our club members (Ian O'Reilly - PERRYS ) enjoying the cockpit of the new Ford GT.
