Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Another collection of columns from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. The difference? These are actually about cars- the second half. The first half of each column is usually devoted to something seemingly unrelated. These are the bits I preferred as I'm not much of a European car fan. Unfortunately it's not Top Gear in book format, but there are some laugh out loud moments. no reviews | add a review

Jeremy Clarkson knows there's more to life than cars. There is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before he gets on with the job in hand, he'd like to take some time out to consider the bigger picture. Don't worry, he'll get on to the car bit eventually, but before we do, there's time to learn about- Why Galapagos tortoises are all mental France, reduced to the size of a small coconut Why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of AC/DC aren't so very different The problems of being English and God's most stupid creation And then there's the cars- Whether it's the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, firebreathing supercar, anything on four wheels is approached without fear or favour. What emerges from the ashes is not always pretty. But it is, invariably, very, very funny. No library descriptions found. |

Reading it now it is less relevant as the information is all in regards to past model cars and unfortunately unlike the other books of his I have read this one does not vary topics. It's all cars, all the time.
Whilst he is still funny, reading back to back about cars which are no longer particularly relevant did nothing for me, I'm sure if you're a huge car nut you may appreciate this book however it simply wasn't to my tastes.
His other books? Good stuff. This one - not at all. ( )
