Just been on BBC news Guy Martin tipped to take over Top gear! I like the kid I think I will even start watching it now!

Gosh yes never thought of him but its obvious!
I expected Chris Evans to get the gig.
Would be pleased with either, but why not both??
Get rid of the whole team (their contract's are up)
Time for a woman in the old woman (May) role??

Don't think he will get the offer of Top Gear BUT ...

....I sure as HELL wish he could win a TT. Would be awesome and he would be quite happy as well at a guess

Reality check. Top Gear is finished without Jeremy.

Yep, JC is the sole reason it's lasted 37 years. :/

The end of Clarkson means the end of Top Gear, let's be honest. He made the show.

Bring back Clarkson

Top gear isn't the product. Clarkson, Hammond and May are. Another company will pick them up under a slightly different name

Guy Martin would be an awesome presenter on Top Gear! And he's not a pillock - bonus!

He was born in Grimsby but first sentence of his Book he said he claimed he was from Kirmington cos his hometown was such a sh**hole (a bit of a parody but cant be bothered to look it up)

...BUT its DN31 ... so just a small town in Donny !
