And that ’s not all. Henry Catchpole had an item on TopGear.com , and I heard Jethro Bovingdon’s voice on Motor Trend. What the shit is happening? Is there anything I missed? Did Jalopnik just hire a new writer?

EDIT: Nope, the Clarkson article was just a syndication. Still, I’m interested as to why the other two are not on DriveTribe.

Drivetribe’s readers were only interested in CHM and as a result pretty much everyone else jumped ship. Jethro and Henry are currently doing free lance work (alongside Dan Prosser, Steve Sutcliffe and probably a bunch of other British journos) until they find new homes.

Plot twist: Jalopnik hires them all.

Hey we have Kotaku.co.uk and Gizmodo.co.uk. It’s about time for Jalopnik.co.uk.

Henry Catchpole does reviews for Carfection now, too. Formerly Xcar

Is ‘jumped ship’ a polite euphemism for ‘were unceremoniously fired to save money on quality content providers’?

Which is strange because you’d think EVO would fleet re-hire these guys back.
