Which Top Gear Host Would You Hang Out With?

[Rykon Zero]

Hamster!

 

[Blake]

Jeremy is cool and all, but he is oh so stubborn and I’m sure if we ever disagreed on something we’d get to the point where the world would end.

James, on the other hand, seems very annoying and I don’t think I could put up with it.

In that case I suppose I’d better hang out with Teeth.

 

[Formula1Driver]

Probably Hammond because he is a bit younger and a bit more "childish" I guess, but then again I would hang out with any of the Top Gear guys.

 

[peeweegary]

Hamster....as i wouldnt need to look up to talk to him as i am probably as short as him

 

[Race Idiot]

I like May and his foppish ocd ways. I too make sure my heater vents are all alligned at the same angle and have no dust in them.

 

[ND4SPD]

I would have picked Clarkson, but something tells me we'd end up having an argument over which cars are better than the other. So I picked the Hamster, he seems hilarious to be around. Too bad we can't hang with the Stig...

 

[Turbo Lag]

Jezza for sure. Im a big fan of him lol, and most of the cars he gives a verdict on, i usually say the same thing as him.

 

[Rykon Zero]

I didn't include The Stig, because all you would do is sit around with him staring at you.

 

[Dougboy]

I didn't include The Stig, because all you would do is sit around with him staring at you.

Or i can go swimming with his stig ladies

 

[Gashlycrumb]

James May, followed by Hamster with Clarkson a distant third.

 

[exigeracer]

Clarkson, just to piss him off.

 

[Omnis]

Jeremy, because we're both the same height and could drive Fiat 500s.

 

[Keef]

James May actually seems like he knows something. I like him.

 

[Sharky.]

James May actually seems like he knows something. I like him.

But he's boring! He'd go on about Bentley door handles or something all day

At least Jeremy and Hammond would be interesting to hang with. Jeremy would do his classic POWAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SPEEEEEEEEEDDDDD!! stuff, and Hammond would, well, generally goof about

It's close between Clarkson and Teeth - I'd probably go for... I don't really know

Jeremy, I'll say, but only by a very slight amount - Hammond would make you laugh, but Clarkson would drive in circles a lot. And I like that

 

[BayConRong]

\Hammond would make you laugh, and Clarkson would drive in circles a lot. And I like that

i like hammond more i just got done watching the caterham thingy. i don't like either May or Clarkson one is too boring and the other is too mean. i'll bet that all those mean things they do to may is clarkson's ideas, hammond just follows along because he thinks it's funny. that i think those two are ugly. i'de start laughing about clarkson's hair line and about may's retarded hair.

 

[Dougboy]

But he's boring! He'd go on about Bentley door handles or something all day

I acutally find those little facts quite interesting

 

[Jay]

Jermery Clarkson no doubt.

I too make sure my heater vents are all alligned at the same angle and have no dust in them.

As do I. Can't stand misalligned vents.

 

[Keef]

I'm always really disappointed when they stop him in the middle of something genuinely interesting. Instead they do the news, which is a compilation of things I read on the net 3 weeks ago, except with a bunch of false or dumbed down information.

 

[YSSMAN]

Clarkson. Theres a reason why I have been called "The American Clarkson."

I'm sure that he and I would go on and on about Astons and Jaguars, and then we'd hit some speedbumps:

- My love for American cars
- My love for the "grown-up Beetle"
- An understanding of various motorsports

But, alas, I think we'd get along. Would be very fun indeed.

Second place?

Its a close tie between Hammond and May, but in the end, I'd like to have a long conversation with May. He seems like hes properly intelligent, and I'm sure we could have a rousing discussion on the application of technology on European automobiles since the 1980s.

 

[dimplz]

Hampster with Teeth. He has the best taste in hot cars and he has the same personnality as me...Jeremy thinks he knows whats best and doesnt let the others talk even if there right.

Although the stig wasnt involved he would have owned this poll.

 

[Flerbizky]

1. Hamster - The Gay Cowboy
2. James May - The man living in the Past
3. Clarkson - The Gay Terrorist

As others said - I'd hang out with any of the TG crew for any amount of time possible... I'm such a whore :-)

 

[niky]

Vicki Butler Henderson. We'd go on a nice picnic somewhere... ... Tiff can come along, as long as he does all the driving.

Oops... are we talking current hosts? Richard Hammond, I guess... simply because he's like that annoying but lovable kid brother I never had.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I think that the best conversationalist would be James May, although Jeremy Clarkson's day-to-day persona is more in keeping with his documentary shows than Top Gear. TG is almost him parodying himself. None of it is particularly serious.

I chose May. His newspaper column is hilarious.

 

[Race Idiot]

Clarkson. Theres a reason why I have been called "The American Clarkson."

Because you are a fat grumpy old man with lots of backwards views?

 

[Muzaffar]

James May. Much like what GilesGuthrie said, you could have more topic to discuss with May than Hammond or Clarkson. I mean you could talk about many subject without getting bored...

 

[Alex.]

Clarkson is apprently a bit of a bugger off screen. He's been known to tell kids wanting his autograph to sod off.

It's 50-50 between hamster and captain not the slowest (Hammond 316MPH, may 254MPH, Clarkson 207)

 

[Danny]

Was this by you, by any chance?


Probably Richard Hammond, I find him quite funny.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Richard Hammond, theres a lot beneath the cuddly exterior.

Your right about Clarkson, the way we see him on TopGear isn't how he would behaive if you were with him socially or how he bahaives in general. He is actually a much more interesting person than TopGear shows him to be and his interests and knowledge goes a lot further than cars. It's just what most people see of him and how he panders to that image, or as you said, parody of himself that people seem to like.

I'm with the "I probably wouldn't find May boring" camp, I've watched a couple of times when May has been explaining something and it's got my interest then he's told to shut up. It keeps the show funny, but sometimes I'd like them to let him finish it off. You have to remember TopGear is all scripted ofcourse.

I don't know about Hammon, I'm sort of in two minds if I'd want to spend a lot of time with him. I've known people with similar personalities and I find them either great fun or extremely annonying after a while, so it'd be 50/50 with Hammond. I'd probably choose Clarkson or May.

 

[JCE]

Jeremy. He and I share alot of common personality traits. While I'd find James fascinating and Richard a riot--Jeremy and I would probably get along the best.
