Is it just me or is Tiff trying to be Clarkson ?
In the last episode where Tiff went a little mad at the BEEPing in the Lexus, did he remind anyone else of the "Shut up" Clarkson says specifically in the M5 ? Great cars though.

Yes, Clarkson should sue him for blatant plagiarism.

Tiff doesn't need to copy Clarkson, he's been in the biz as long as Clarkson has. He's not Jonny Smith or someone like that.

Now that is something I can't disagree with images/smilies/lol.gif

That said, I do like this presenting (and I used to find him unbearable).

Tiff is just Tiff.
If he doesn't like a car he complains about it.
I think Tiff is the furthest apart from Clarkson compared to all the other presenters.
He can drive well, for a start, and doesn't use stupid analogies all the time

I'm a noob, and I have a lot more than 10 posts. Tiff sounds like Clarkson? Anyone could dislike beeping to the point where they speak up about it. Maybe you mean that he literally sounds like Clarkson? I assure you, they have very different voices and accents.

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you tomorrow I'll miss you... oh wait I can't see with my eyes closed, and Tiff is awesome, even if he does come off a bit gay sometimes.

It's that talentless muppet Clarkson who wishes he was Tiff. It makes my blood boil that anyone could have any respect for someone who spends his time reviewing performance cars when, like his two servants, he is patently unqualified to do so.

But who is more qualified to review a wine? The winemaker or the winetaster?

Clarkson would be the later. He may not know a great deal about the technical specifics of the cars he reviews, but he is a car aficionado. He knows what makes a car great. He has spent his life around cars and knows when a car has that special something. It's not about how many valves per cylinder or what the unsprung weight of the rear suspension is about... it's what the end result is. The flavor of wine is described as what it reminds you of, be it fruit, flowers, or even earth. None of which was ever used to make the wine. You don't have to know how the wine was made to know when it tastes right.

Owen, Clarkson has fake Doctorates, and that is why he got a pie in the face.
