Good.
It's about time a woman is doing a "guy" show.
(Disclaimer, I don't know her, I don't watch the show, I don't own a car and have a driver's license, and wish I could have an Aston Martin DB5).
I'd rather be phishing!

It's not about the sex of the presenter, it's that whoever it is will not be Clarkson.

Wonder who will replace James and Richard. Their new motto will be:
Most politically correct show...
...in the world.

Looks like I was right then... Sue Perkins is apparently a vegetarian lesbian, so all we need now is for her to ride a bike... 
It's not going to be good, is it?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Unwatchable: you need to trust that the presenter's of show like that are a) going to take the piss at every available opportunity, b) be politically incorrect, c) be able to drive and d) know one end of a car from the other. How many vegetarian lesbians know where the half-shaft giggle pin goes?

There's a kind of morbid curiousity in watching someone make grand, blase statements when he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
For a) and b), Perkins pisses all over that thick-headed, egoistic moron who got fired from the show.
For c) and d), I don't have the foggiest, but I do know that they're a lot less important than a) and b).
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

In your humble opinion.

Then you have nothing to say.

True, but, nonetheless, important: Clarkson was, first and foremost, a motoring journalist so at least has some inkling. He may make crap cakes but he knows cars. She just knows crap cakes.

Sue Perkins is bluddy brilliant.
It'll be good to see such a show with such a genuinely talented person at the helm.

You just keep on talking about what you don't know about.
I'll really enjoy watching you eat your words, later.

Thing is, I do know about cars. You've already admitted you know nothing so why are you still talking?

Beg pardon?
I have completely dismantled, repaired, and reassembled three engines. I've done all manner of bodywork, and have even built a bench to straighten a monocoque frame.
I have never paid anyone to either adjust or repair any car I have ever owned -- and I've owned a lot of cars.
Where, exactly, did I say that I don't know what I'm talking about, when it comes to cars?
You, on the other hand, have admitted that you know bugger all about Sue Perkins, and your follow-up statements have proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt, because anyone who knows her would not even dream of talking of her the way you have.
And let's carry on with this "who knows what" cr@p, shall we?
I'm pretty sure that you're aware that you are currently talking to someone who is extremely proficient at "taking the piss at every available opportunity" and "being politically incorrect".
If someone like that says that he respects the talents of someone else in those very areas, then maybe you ought to listen, and learn something about someone whom you have admitted that you know nothing about.

If you think it costs a lot to hire a professional, wait till you hire an amateur. How many times I heard "I thought I'd do it myself...".

I do know her work as I said in another thread.

You need to climb back out of your own arse; the air up there is addling your brain.

I assume you are talking about me.
I don't really care about cars (except if it is a DB5).
I know nothing about car mechanics. (well, I know some of the principles, but I would never dare "work" on a car, except to change a flat tire).

Do not misquote me. Make it clear where my words end and your foolish additions begin.
And AFAIK, Perkins can't cook.
In fact, forget that last. I know for a fact that she can't.

Listen, I'm sure she's bloody marvelous and I have seen her and she can be funny but she is not Top Gear material. Perhaps they can find her a more suitable show on Radio Norfolk.
What the BBC should do is get over themselves and rehire Clarkson.
