Not directly, but it is that whole sense of, you’ve reached the ultimate ratio, but then you dig deeper and there’s another ratio. I’m confident in what they’ve put together. He’s probably the best driver I’ve driven with, hands down.

As much as you love Clarkson, Hammond and May, they probably don’t love you as much as you love them. They said: “Look we know he’s a mate, even if it’s anonymous just give us anything.” And that kind of painted a picture of the press for me, and showed me that although I call myself a journalist, these people call themselves journalists too but our approach in getting and delivering a story is just completely different. Here’s a story about Eddie. His fists are built for precision, mine are just like big blunt objects of destruction. Unfortunately not, I do it every Thursday! They’re like dinner plates man!

It was a silly thing and not the car’s fault, but at home in Finland over the winter of 2009 I was thinking of buying a 156. What’s the big difference working for Top Gear compared with your previous job working on the YouTube series [Fast, Furious and Funny]? Top Gear Presenter Rory Reid Tells Us Why Clarkson Fanboys Need To Get Over Themselves. I am sure both Americans still watching it can figure it out. When you see him on Friends then watch him on Top Gear it’s uncanny, it’s the same comedic timing, deadpan, gets the job done. I am not up on my Fast and Furious.

[Laughs] it is kind of! I doubt he left the show, I'm pretty sure they asked him to leave / didn't renew his contract.

The interior of the BMW i8 reminds me of a casting couch, in that any woman that steps into that interior feels compelled to take her clothes off, and do with you what she will.
