The Top Gear Years

We now know all about  the world according to Clarkson.  In a  series of bestselling books 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 and his friends built a world that was  rather more to his liking: they called it Top Gear HQ. And Top Gear is for  Jeremy what the jungle is for Tarzan: the perfect place to work and  play.But they didn't stop  there.  With this corner of Surrey sorted out, Jeremy and 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 and far flung outposts across the globe  from North America to China - an empire of petrol-headed  upon which the sun never set.And 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 and the pain.  Brilliantly written and laugh out loud funny,  The Top Gear Years is Clarkson at his  pithy, provocative, hilarious best.
