Correct, Clarkson han't been a car journalist for years. Plus, while he's always been a great writer, he wasn't a great car journalist. He's always put the story first.

I've gone off Chris Harris. He could be a modern day great, but he's become too keen to be inclusive these days. He's going for a big audience and has significantly toned down his purist tendencies, pity really.

Of the current UK crop, I rate Richard Meaden above the rest, probably Catchpole and Bovingdon next.
