We now know all about the world according to Clarkson. In a series of bestselling books including How Hard Can It Be?" & " Round the Bend" Jeremy has revealed it to be a puzzling frustrating place where all too often the lunatics seem to be running the asylum. But in " The Top Gear Years" we get something rather different. Because ten years ago at an ex-RAF aerodrome in Surrey Jeremy & his friends built a world that was rather more to his liking: they called it Top Gear HQ. & Top Gear is for Jeremy what the jungle is for Tarzan: the perfect place to work & play. But they didnt stop there. With this corner of Surrey sorted out Jeremy & the boys decided to have a crack at the rest of the world. With Top Gear Live charging through with the subtlety of a touring heavy rock band & far flung outposts across the globe from North America to China
- an empire of petrol-headed upon which the sun never set. & all along Jeremy was writing about it all. Here collected between hard covers for the first time are the fruits of his labours: the cars the hijinx the pleasure & the pain. Brilliantly written & laugh out loud funny The Top Gear Years is Clarkson at his pithy provocative hilarious best.
