Before his disciples go mental - it's just a bit of light satire. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/arts-entertainment/bbc-confident-it-can-find-a-new-prick-2015032696705

It definitely would have been much more interesting had this been the case.

Even ignoring any Telegraph links to Clarkson, it's a strange article. It seems to say that Clarson should remain, despite the assault (which it acknowledges is punishable), becasue he's been controversial before (in the weakest sense controversial, not like Frankie Boyle controversial). Hardly a cast iron defence for punching someone. "What it is boss, is, I think I should get away with a written warning for punching Dave, becasue you know, I've flirted with racial slurs in the past"

But he hasnt gone or lost his job, he just Isnt having his contract renewed. He is still employed by the BBC as we speak. I'm a contractor and as per what was said a few pages back, it's much easier to let a contract lapse, especially for the incredibly short time in question. The effect is much the same, no more money and it's not like he needs references, a future employer knows precisely what they get from him. There's zero legal recourse to not being renewed, as it is an expectation at the start of the contract - there is an end date. Terminate it early, for whatever good reason and you open that up tp legal challenges etc. I'm just surprised they didn't delay the decision to the very last minute.

Have a look on Matt's thread, there's wheel options from post #332 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/82410-the-ilogikal1-test-thread/page__st__320 Edit: just had a thought. If these have fresh paint on them. Don't yo want to wait a while for it to de-gas before sealing up? Or is that just fresh bodywork?

Doesn't really matter how hurt he was. If someone at work verbally abuses you for half an hour, then hits you, all because the canteen ran out of warm food, you've got every right to have prick's job. TBF to the producer, he didn't even report him to the Beeb, let alone the Feds. Clarkson apparently reported himself, which somewhat undermines his 'woe is me' social media campaign this last week or so.

Go again at $3 mill! More shenanigans now the target has been hit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/super-troopers-2#activity

How do we start a petition to prevent Noel Edmunds? Not coming back to Top Gear, just generally

No. It didn't seem to be a factor. Wicked, cheers. Im gonna go for the $200 then too. However im gonna hang on for an hour and try to be the person that pushes them over the $2million mark... you never know they might throw in a bonus! That's so damn clever, I'm furious I didn't think of it. Mind you, they were on like 1.4 million when I got on board before it went meainstream If you get an all expenses paid trip to the premiere you have to take me, I put this thing together man!!!

That's like £9 per signature - bargain!!!

No. It didn't seem to be a factor.

I went $200, couldn't resist a signed poster. I did it quickly after seeing it. before my sensible overuled my impulse

A smart business decision to get rid of the presenter of a 150 million revenue stream, perhaps you and me have different ideas about whats smart in business Not all smart business decisions are made entirely for the bottom line, especially as they're not really a business, in as much as they have a never ending income stream from the license. The TG franchise rights all over the world will still pour cash in too. Be that as it may, whatever three bananas they line up for the job, people will still watch it. People loathed "Match of The Day" when it was on ITV but still tuned in because the subject matter was the driver. There's no other new cars show on TV, is there? Partridge flanked by the Chuckle Brothers. Done.

There's a good few film fans on here so I thought I'd post this up. If you've seen Super Troopers, you can just proceed to the website, there's no need for a hard sell. It's simply brilliant. They're doing a crowd funding thing for a sequel and for your pledge there's a range of free goodies available, perfect for any film fan. Who wouldn't want a moustache or police badge or t-shirt or DVD or signed movie poster???? Sign up here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/super-troopers-2 If you haven't seen the original movie. Firstly, punch yourself in the face and examine your life choices upto now. Then click play below, watch the opening sequence and fall in love. It's one of my all time top 10 favourite comedy movies. As an introduction, you should watch the opening sequence below. Who wants a moustache ride?

Twins for the wins.

No contract renewal for JC in big paper. Assume the rest will go and they'll get 20 million to work for Sky or ITV.

That is amazeballz. The hand throttle/brake/clutch combo lever looks clever/complicated as **** !!!!

Metal polishes? There's only the twins isn't there?

Sabine already presents top gear Germany doesn't she Dunno TBH, but it's nice playing in the Junior leagues, but when the Seniors come calling you get your bank details ready

Unless you need the air flow, you can retain the window and use the supplied tape and adhesive promoter. I had a sheet of black vinyl applied to the window first, which the louvre is fitted to in case I really didn't like them and they needed to come off. It also stops the glass peeking out through the gaps from certain angles. Well pleased with the final look once painted and fitted

Just don't ask him to do Spanish mountain passes But seriously, good of you to offer. The two track days I've done there's been really experienced guys there in their race prepped toys and when I get spanked by one of them in a Clio I learnt a lot just by following them round for a lap!!! Once I get an inexpensive track toy sorted I'd jump an opportunity like this.

Jodie Kidd's style of presenting is painful, the way she draws out a sentence makes me want to concrete in my ear holes. Someone in the paper suggested Sabine "Queen of the Ring" Schmidt as the new Clarkson, not a terrible idea I'd say... Presumably the nickname relates to the Nurburgring and nothing else

That's exaclty what my hands do when I get it wrong in the Zed on Gran Turismo! Good on you for posting it up.

Chunnel was no problem for my stock height Zed with a V1 replica lip, though I did have to do suggest the lower deck to the chap on the platform. The width of the track inside the train is much more worrying, even with Rays.
