Book description
Jeremy Clarkson invites us to Motorworld, his take on
different cultures and the cars that they drive.
There are ways and means of getting about that don't involve four
wheels, but in this slice of vintage Clarkson, Jeremy isn't much
interested in them.
Back in 1996, he took himself off to twelve countries (okay, eleven
- he goes to America twice) in search of the hows, whys and wherefores
of different nationalities and their relationships with cars. There
were a few questions he needed answers to:
Why, for instance, is it that Italians are more interested in
looking good than looking where they are going?
Why do Indians crash a lot?
How can an Arab describe himself as 'not a rich man' with four of
the world's most expensive cars in his drive?
And why have the otherwise neutral Swiss declared war on the car?
From Cuba to Iceland, Australia to Vietnam, Japan to Texas, Jeremy
Clarkson tells us of his adventures on and off four wheels as he seeks
to discover just what it is that makes our motorworld tick over.
