The mistake is in considering Top Gear a car show - it is really an
entertainment program based upon cars.
The early Wheeler Dealers were great, but as they became known over here
they are losing what made them so good - fixing up cars that anybody could
afford. I don't believe the show is really about turning a profit - but that
you too, can buy and fixup a cool car.

It's too bad that Mark Evans quit doing automotive things, although I have
enjoyed his more recent programs as well.

Clarkson earns north of four million quid a year, so it's safe to assume
he's smarter than all of us.....
