Nobody.....and I mean nobody will ever match the feelings Jeremy Clarkson gives you talking about a car. I find myself often a bit depressed watching car reviews. It why I avoid them. Im fairly certain I wont ever get to drive any of these insanely amazing cars. I cant afford to.....But when I watch a Jeremy Clarkson car review.....he describes it in a way that I feel like I have driven the car. Like Im there sitting going around the track. I don't feel depressed watching Jeremy drive around cars only the ultra-rich get to.... I feel like Im that special person who gets to do it. Thank you Jeremy.
