Seriously, Clarkson is king of the Petrolheads: the more horsepower the better. He's great entertainment for the bored English white middle class.

Particularly one of Clarkson's racist rants insulting Mexicans/Indians/Germans/<insert non-English nationality> ...

 

Top Gear may appeal to the petrol heads in Apple's top management but the "lad culture" of the show isn't very "Apple"...
