message: Why is James May listed as being in the original format? According to his page he started in 2003. I've seen the episode and they say it is his first time on TV.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.60.114 (talk • contribs) 
:Er, because he was in the original series - he replaced Jeremy Clarkson (see the episodes with roadtests of the Lexus IS200, Rover 75, etc) Bob talk 09:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "...Performance Car Magazine journalist Jeremy Clarkson in 1989..." the wiki link to Performance Car Magazine links to New Zealand Performance Car Magazine - I'm guessing that There's a UK magazine also by the name Performance Car Magazine that it should be linked to, or indeed that it's a total mistake.
