"one of the top comic actors in hollywood"... Really? I remember him being a pilot in some space film 20 years ago and Friends?

A pity. He came across as a genuine petrolhead. Chris and his chemistry seemed to be going in the right direction too.

Schmee next then :lol:

Not sure anyone’s particularly interested a piece about how plush the C200’s dashboard is though?

Ive watched a few Schmee vids recently - his M5 wankfest collection and a general update on his EPIC LIFE !!!!

Seems to be getting more and more annoying - is that even possible?

That's a real shame, I enjoyed his work, clearly loved the job and is a petrolhead.

He was just right for the job imo - the perfect balance of likeable-ness, funny and engaging to watch. Now we’ll end up with some other crap presenter options just because everyone thinks “they like cars”.

My predictions for the list of terrible choices that will no doubt be put forward:

JK
Jenson
Steve Jones
Guy Martin
That annoying chef
Vernon Kaye

Yes, just that shit unpopular show that paid him $1m per episode. Sorry - it's no driving a Skoda taxi in Scotland, I know.

JB and Guy Martin would probably be alright. The rest can FRO.

That's exactly what I thought, I couldn't agree more with you there Rich. I really think TG was much better off with him and Chris compared to the three stooges, in fact I'd go as far as to say him and Chris made it to a new level.

Hopefully they can get him to do the occasional state side filming for some of the new cars and bikes out there. Big shoes to fill with him leaving...

Lots like 2019 will be a bad year for petrol heads watching tv. No Grand Tour, Too Gear will probably have a few crap series until the new member fits in. Ugh.
