What Happened to the Hosts of Top Gear UPDATED

What Happened to the Hosts of Top Gear

The date is the 20th of October 2002. Merely three years later on the original incarnation of Acme Gear died in 1999, a newly updated & rebooted version of the pokey motoring show returned to BBC 2. At the helm of the new evidence was Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond & Ja……. Jason Dawe?

Most hardcore Top Gear fans will know this already, but did you know James May wasn't actually a role of Height Gear when it launched with Series ane?

Dawe's part in Series i mostly revolved around discussing used cars and what to look for, plus tips on how to get the best deals on new cars. Dawe once famously admitted to "buying £900 cars and driving them until they died" – at which betoken he'd but buy some other one and echo the process. Frugal motoring indeed, simply perchance this didn't sit well with New Top Gear's ethos and he was replaced at the cease of the starting time series.

Dawe was shown the door (sorry, that was terrible) due to things 'not working out', and Top Gear'south executive producer Andy Wilman searched to detect a immature, lifestyle, trendy presenter to appeal to the prove'south young, lifestyle, trendy viewers. James May was plainly the perfect man for the job. But what happened to Dawe, the man who so nearly could have been starring on The Grand Tour right now if things went a niggling bit differently?

Post-obit his departure from Top Gear, Dawe went on to nowadays a Television set testify for ITV4 called Used Car Roadshow – I'1000 certain this came equally no surprise to many, given his penchant for beaten up cars that have been used and driveling.

The programmes were filmed at car shows across the United Kingdom, with Dawe and his co-host Penny Mallory attempting to selection the most eye-communicable and unusual cars for sale, as well as demonstrating bargains that can be had from the used car market place. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled in 2007 due to depression ratings – every bit perchance buying used cars simply isn't all that interesting, unless there are challenges involved of grade!

Dawe'due south dearest of cars is understandable given his groundwork. Born and brought up in Cornwall, he began selling cars in 1986 every bit he worked for a local dealership. Dawe ended up working in the motor industry for some xvi years earlier he branched out into Television receiver and impress, selling many brands including Rover, Citroen, Mercedes Benz and Porsche.

Following his exit from Boob tube, Dawe continued writing motoring articles for The Sun Times and Times Online, and his piece of work has too appeared in Elevation Gear Magazine, Used Auto Heir-apparent, Autotrader and AA Magazines. He too makes a living as a speechwriter and author of grooming courses, having developed a skillful reputation equally an after-dinner speaker – something Richard Hammond also used to fiddle in back in the twenty-four hours.

Nevertheless, I exercise wonder how different the earth would accept been if Dawe connected on with Series two of Meridian Gear and beyond. Although 'Clarkson, Hammond and Dawe' doesn't quite take the same ring to information technology, I idea his presenting mode was solid and he was certainly knowledgeable when information technology came to used cars. Mayhap this would have given him the border on all those Cheap Auto Challenges?
