Heard this on the Radio tonight when washing the car.

I think he is potentially a very good fit, but only time will tell I guess. One things for sure its a very hard act to follow.

I don't mind top gear (but that was mainly the banter of the old fat abusive twat)

I can't stand Chris Evans..

Hopefully Clarkson, Cpt Slow, and Hampster will get a deal sorted somewhere else, as an entertainment show they where quite a laugh together.

Is Chris Evans hosting on his own or is he part of a team of 3 ?

Reports have it that there be more bikes and with Guy Martin rumoured to be interested, that would be quite good

The other co-host rumour is Jodie Kidd

Can't see a good balance of bikes & cars happening, the BBC will want to keep the winning format as it's their top seller abroad. Let's be fair bikes are seen in a fairly negative light in most countries, that'll probably reflect in any content recorded due to resultant saleability.

Deegee, I would dispute that bikes are seen in a negative light in most countries.

From my experience, much of mainland Europe has a very different and positive attitude to bikers than that we see in the UK.
