Jeremy Clarkson knows there's more to life than cars. There is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before he gets on with the job in hand, he'd like to take some time out to consider the bigger picture. Don't worry, he'll get on to the car bit eventually, but before he does, there's time to learn about: ??? The unfortunate collapse of the British Empire ??? Why Galapagos tortoises are all mental ??? France, reduced to the size of a small coconut ??? Why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of AC/DC aren't so very different ??? The problems of being English ??? And God's most stupid creation. And then there's the cars: whether it's the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, fire-breathing supercar, no one else writes about cars like Jeremy. Unmoved by official claims and uninterested in press junkets, he approaches anything on four wheels without fear or favour. What emerges from the ashes is not always pretty. But it is, invariably, very, very funny.
