Book description
Motoring aficionado, comic writer, TV presenter, engineering buff,
journalist, author and unapologetic bon viveur, Jeremy Clarkson is one
of Britain's most controversial personalities. Jeremy Clarkson found
fame and fortune at the wheel of trailblazing BBC motoring series Top
Gear. With its worldwide audience of over 250 million viewers, the
show has garnered him praise and condemnation in equal measure for his
forthright views on cyclists, environmentalists and road-safety
campaigners. From causing traffic chaos on the roads of London to
fisticuffs with Piers Morgan, driving 'fast and recklessly' through
the Lincolnshire countryside -- an area with one of the worst road
death rates in Europe -- to being on the receiving end of a meringue
pie when he collected an honorary degree from Brunel University,
Clarkson has lived life at breakneck speed. In this must-read
biography for any Clarkson fan, his frank views and hilariously candid
anecdotes appear alongside the vivid details of his remarkable life story.
