Top Gear has been in trouble again ? this time for screening a spoof advertisement for Volkswagen that showed a man committing suicide by shooting himself in the head.

But this is unlikely to worry the Top Gear team too much ? the popular trio are no strangers to controversy and have been in trouble with TV regulators Ofcom on several occasions before.

Here are some of Clarkson and company?s more notorious moments, and who and how they managed to offend.

All the "hot water" moments compiled.
 
Just wondering, but why is the "Jeremy Clarkson Beat Box" video randomly at the end of the article? LOL
 
What ? no :
Morris Marina Owners?
Carravvanners? (just how many freaking letters do they need in english anyway?)
Rednecks?
Polar bears ?

Topgear has insulted alot more people than in that list surely :p
 
3. Tree lovers

Jeremy annoyed tree lovers in a Somerset village when he tested the strength of a Toyota Hilux by driving into a tree in 2004.

The locals thought the tree had been damaged by accident until the stunt was broadcast on Top Gear, showing it had been done intentionally.

The show got away with it, but agreed to pay ?250 compensation to the village, along with an apology for its actions

Verdict: Guilty, but not officially punished

pffffff that was a bloody scratch comparing to this...

8:35 onwards

Should someone put all the incidents in the same book, with some additional info, the Wikipedia book would be tiny
 
The Big Little Book of Top Gear Controversies, coming to a book shop, or an internet, near you!

and yet people would still buy it and then the Daily Mail would probably complain that TG are making a profit out of careless behaviour... well, with all the merchandise out there now they could probably make that claim already.
 
These people need to get lives - Islingtonistas. or Dick heads as they are know - trouble is they live on my taxes - B*****ds.
