As we all know, Clarkson, Hammond and May are very competitive with each other on the show. So keeping the blood thirsty competitiveness alive and kicking, who would you vote as your favorite member of the cast?

Very hard to say.  I like Clarkson’s attitude and charm, but I like Jame’s levelheadedness and his knowledge about old cars and “the war.“

This was a pretty tough decission for me.

Jeremy Clarkson: Pompous yet witty as hell. I could find myself butting heads with him for hours while he swirls some expensive liquor around in a glass and I tip back a cold budweiser.

Richard Hammond: What can I say, it seems like lady luck has something against him, resulting in everything he does being flubbered up. Well, everything except for his sharp tongued retorts to Jeremy’s verbal abuse. Best thing is, if a guy hung with him at the pub, there’d be a ton of hot gals hanging around and you just might have a chance at picking up some of his left overs….

James May: Seems to always go the road of rich heritage when choosing his cars and it always seems to bite him in the bum in the end. I honestly cheer for him in every one of their competitions, he IS the classic under dog.

The Stig: I’ve read rumors that The Stig is actually J. Clarkson under that helmet, but we all know it can’t be him because we’ve never heard The Stig ramble on about how great his driving skills are.

In the end, I had to go with Richard Hammond. Basically because I liked the idea of getting his left over girls at the bar…

P.S. Hammond, if you win the poll are you going to fly me over so I can run a few laps on your track?????? *cheesy smile*

Jeremy Clarkson is a genius, as proved in his new trailer.

But fast forward to 2:10 and The Stig makes a good argument for my favorite.

The Stig. Hands down.

Indeed,he’s the “well spoken man”!!!

that made me howl, never thought id see the stig doing that, but its james may for me, captain slow has always made me laugh, and hes a lot like me, except may be a little more feminine.

To each their own they say. But in this motley crew there isn’t a rotten egg in the bunch!
Richard Hammond’s positive energy is irrepressible, James May’s steady calm holds the whole thing together, and Jeremy Clarkson is (sadly) the last honest man in America (even if he is imported from the Isles).
They are all just superb!
The 60’s gave us the Supremes. The 70’s gave us the Bee Gees. The BBC gave us Top Gear. What a world!

I love all of them but I had to pick May. That guy kills me.

I totally identify with James!

Definitely James.  No contest. 

Well…  I guess there’s some contest from Hammond, but James’ demeanor just makes him that much funnier.

Captain Slow,the only one with enough common sense to buy a sensible Fiat Panda(though i heard Stiggy has been reported driving a MINI with a diesel engine)

Stig.  He’s such a Chatty Cathy.

I originally voted for Hammond, but seeing May in the lead right now….I’m cheering him on!!!

Watching Stig chase sheep in the trailer I’m pretty sure he’ll never catch one. Living right next to Montana all my life, I’ve talked to a few sheep farmers and they all confirm that a sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away…

You can also ask who completes the show… I think the show wouldn’t be as good without clarkson… may comes in at second…

it has to be Jeremy!!

Hmmm perhaps a Beetle comparison will help. I can’t pick a favorite Beetle or TopGear host!

Jeremy=John
Hammond=Paul
May=George
Stig=Ringo

Jeremy is certainly John, the leader of the band. Hammond gets the nod over May for Paul because of his looks, not for any musical talent. May has George’s musical gifts and his more taciturn but funny personality. The quiet Stig who beats on cars is like quiet Ringo who beats out beats.
