He badmouths a variety of countries, but I'd have to agree that we take the lion's share. However, I do feel that he is frequently right on point. Of course, his criticisms don't apply equally to all Americans, but if we took them with the understanding, that like everything Clarkson, they are a bit overblown but spring from a core that is not without sensibility, it would be better.

Independent of all that, I don't think he's an idiot at all. I read his column in the Sunday Times, on Mondays lately and there is a great deal of sense under his bombast.

IIRC, they wanted to build a mini-fridge for the V8 Vantage. I bet the TG freaks on finalgear.com would know.
