BBC is confirming that Jeremy Clarkson has been dropped from Top Gear.
Personally, I could not care less. Clarkson hasn't been relevant since his columns became 75 percent irrelevant rambling, 25 percent slapdash car review. I don't watch Top Gear for the same reason that cops and doctors avoid watching procedural dramas. I blame the show for spawning a breed of armchair automotive expert who ask for your opinion and then tell you why you're wrong based on what Clarkson said about the car.
But you know what? He is probably the reason I went down this path. His books (Clarkson on Cars, Motorworld) contain some of the best auto writing of all time. Nobody has influenced the current crop of auto writers more than him. More importantly, Clarkson and Top Gear showed that American consumers were willing to pay $11.99 for a printed automobile publication – something that the buff books haven't quite managed to do.
