And !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’s not all. Henry Catchpole had !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , 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.

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.
