Guardian readers' views of Top Gear...
Against all stereotypes, they (most of them) love it!
This blog has over 100 replies, and is well worth a read if you have the time (it's like going through a SN 5-page thread) - as well as the bitching between contributors, there are some classic comments about TG and the presenters.

"I don't watch it much but the sight of 3 middle-aged blokes in jackets and jeans handing down judgements on what is, or isn't, cool was hilarious."
"Part of me wants to put the boot into Clarkson's smug grinning face (his joy at being satirised in Coogan's Saxondale was almost unconfined). And the other part finds him scarily attractive. Richard Hammond is a lovely fluffy bunny and I think James May, finding himself in a world which appears to be too much for him, needs taking back to his dorm at prep school and given a nice cup of cocoa

I have a tiny **** and a tiny brain, hence I enjoy Top Gear, challenging stuff eh !
Clarkson being racist, offending people, well point being that just sometimes people need offending to make them think about the way they are conducting themselves, the whole justice system works on this premise.
I was quite heartened that despite themselves, most of the Guardian readers expressed a grudging appreciation of Top Gear, an hour of escapism an humour, amen to that because there is very little of it on tv these days.
