Top Gear to me was a sort of car orientated "last of the Summer Wine " with Foggy Clarkson ,Cleggy May
and Compo Hammond.Three blokes wandering the world driving the sort of cars you and I don't have much chance to look at let alone drive ,having fun and getting paid for it .
Envious ? of course I am
