    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Great find.

    If I remember correctly, he narrated the official end-of-season highlights videos, and I would imagine that these clips are taken from those. It was also James who originally said of Murray Walker that he commentated as if his trousers were on fire.

    Can't take credit for it. Martini Lancia sent the links to me

    Lots of laugh out loud moments in there though

    Excellent videos. That amazing mix of Anglo-Australian dry humour! He was simply 'great'.

    "This could be the high point of Salazar's career, so lets see it again..."



    Clive James commentary is very good.

    He was an enthusiast, too. I think it shows in the way his own style transferred so well to this role.

    Reminds me of the exact opposite of Paul King (the guy who does the WRC coverage)
