Book description
Jeremy Clarkson gets under the bonnet in Clarkson on Cars; a
collection of his motoring journalism.
Jeremy Clarkson has been driving cars, writing about them and
occasionally voicing his opinions on the BBC's Top Gear for twenty years.
No one in the business is taller.
In this collection of classic Clarkson, stretching back to the
mid-1980s, he's pulled together the car columns and stories with which
he made his name. As coal mines closed and house prices exploded to a
soundtrack of men in make-up playing synthesizers, Jeremy was already
waxing lyrical on topics as useful and diverse as:
The perils of bicycle ownership
Why Australians - not Brits - need bull bars
Why soon only geriatrics will be driving BMWs
The difficultly of deciding on the best car for your wedding
Why Jesus's dad would have owned a Nissan Bluebird
And why it is that bus lanes cause traffic jams
Irreverent, damn funny and offensive to almost everyone, this is
writing with its foot to the floor, the brake lines cut and the speed
limit smashed to smithereens. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Praise for Jeremy Clarkson:
'Brilliant . . . laugh-out-loud' Daily Telegraph
'Outrageously funny . . . will have you in stitches' Time Out
