Title: BBC - Top Gear
Post by: Melbosa on February 11, 2016, 12:03:48 PM
So in today's WTF moments I saw this on IGN: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/02/11/bbc-confirms-top-gear-will-have-7-presenters

I know the whole story of loosing the previous hosts, but some of the new cast members has me perplexed to say the least - Matt Leblanc?

JOEY!

Yeah, not sure how he fits in there.  Then again, people who make lots of money can spend lots of it on cars and thus become very knowledgeable, if they so choose.  For example, Jay Leno.

Matt Leblanc?

He set the record time in the reasonably priced car when he was on as a guest.

Yeah I know about the drive time, but as a host is just odd to me.

It's the Diversity Crew (j/k)

I wish them the best but it won't quite be the same show, now if ITV or Channel 4 is smart they'll make a competing show with the old cast ;)
