      He genuinely looks as if Jeremy Clarkson put on a stereotypical 90s wig as part of a parody skit set the 90s in a 2000s-2010s episode of Top Gear.

    2. As much as I loved Top Gear, I can’t help but think “gah, this fuckin guy is such an asshole” every time I see him…

      I had a standard 5 speed, 1999 Ford escort zx2 for my first car. It was such a fun car to drive. It had fords version of Honda’s V-tech called the Z-tech. Ugly as shit though. Haha!

      My first car was a ford escort. Late 80’s.

      I worked in an office building with about 100 employees. One of my co-workers was a car enthusiast, and told me how escorts were the most common cars on the road in the U.S. at the time. He told me the surprisingly high percentage.

      I said “no way: there’s a hundered people in this building and only 3 have escorts” having noticed two other cars just like mine at our office over the past few months.

      He just smiled skeptically and let me think for a monent or two.

      “Oh wait: there’s 3 white ones!”

      True story.

      My grandma had a series of no frills Ford Escorts in the 80s and 90s, various shades of light blue and tannish brown. Felt like they would fall apart any second. Eventually she won a 92 or 93 Ford Taurus in a church raffle.

      Before I discovered Top Gear I had no clue how much Ford was a well liked manufacturer over seas.

      Clarkson is not and has never been cool.

      He’s a bigoted, conservative bellend, who looks like a less cool version of the keytar player from your favourite 70s lounge rock band.

      He spent a decent chunk of his vacuous life writing reactionary bullshit opinion columns for Rupert Murdoch. The various causes he’s championed over an illustrious career include; racism, climate change denialism, and British imperialism.

      He’s the dictionary definition of a “massive twat”. Post this picture on r/massivetwats instead.
