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. 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 in Top Gear magazine. Here, collected 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. Praise for Jeremy Clarkson: 'Jeremy Clarkson is very funny and his well-honed political incorrectness is a joy.

Beat your friends and family by scoring points for super rare spots! Score: 1. Nearly 50 years ago, upstart high-end sports car manufacturer Lamborghini set the performance car world on its ear with its stunning supercar, the Miura. Wrapped in a svelte Marcello Gandini - designed body and powered by a horsepower V, the Miura instantly made every other car look antiquated.
In , Lamborghini again shocked the automotive world with the mad Countach an Italian expression one might utter at the sight of a beautiful woman , another Gandini masterpiece. Wide, low, and menacing, the original Countach completely recalibrated the supercar template. The Diablo replaced the Countach in and was the last of the Lamborghini supercars under the auspices of the "original" company. Audi acquired the company in and would bring significant German efficiency to bear, turning out supercars to a new template: the Murielago in , the Gallardo in , the Reventon in , the Aventador in , and, most recently, the appropriately named Huracan.
Each one is an ultimate car. Many were collector vehicles from the moment they rolled off the production line. Beneath their stunning bodywork lie chassis and powerplants bristling with the best technology of their respective eras. Lamborghini's latest supercars zip from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 3 seconds and hit top speeds in excess of miles per hour.
Their prices are equally staggering. Lamborghini Supercars 50 Years is devoted exclusively to all of Lamborghini's ultimate performance cars.

Are you ready? Beat your friends and family by scoring points for super rare spots! More than any other country, Britain still gets a sense of itself from the output of its national broadcasters.
So what can we learn from the TV of the last two decades? Over this period, Britain has become more divided and fractious, as populist politics began to inform the national conversation.
What does our love of Downton Abbey say about the national psyche under duress? In this lively and wide-ranging account of twenty tumultuous years, The Age of Static asks how we got here — and the role television played in the process.
Wherever they go, they ask tough questions and leave no stone unturned in search of the cold, hard truth. Questions such as: Is it possible to drive a Ferrari up a Scottish ski slope? Exactly how far can you drive a bulldozer across the Antarctic before it falls down a big crack? And what happens when you drive a small 4X4 up a volcano, during an earthquake, with a high chance of eruption? These are not Sunday drives to country pubs. You will not find any mentions of freshly cut grass and picnics under oak trees.
In fact, you are more likely to encounter roadside landmines and a pack of Chilean llamas with a relaxed approach to personal hygiene. Of course you will also find supercars on winding mountain passes, but this book goes much further, bringing you the most unusual combinations of car and tarmac — or lack of it — from across our planet.
From a writer who's been praised for her 'intelligence, heart, wit' Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls : The Ice House follows the beleaguered MacKinnons as they weather the possible loss of the family business, a serious medical diagnosis and the slings and arrows of familial discord.
Johnny MacKinnon is on the verge of losing it all. The ice factory he's run for decades is facing devastating fines following an accident and may have to close.
He hasn't spoken to his son since Corran's heroin addiction finally drove Johnny to breaking point. And now, after a collapse on the factory floor, it appears Johnny may have a brain tumour. Johnny's been ordered to take it easy, but in some ways, he thinks, what's left to lose? Witty and heartbreaking, The Ice House is a vibrant portrait of multifaceted, exquisitely human characters that readers will not soon forget.
Richard Hammond is one of our most in-demand and best-loved television presenters. In September , he suffered a serious brain injury following a high-speed car crash. An adrenalin junkie long before his association with Top Gear, Richard tells the story of his life, from the small boy showing off with ridiculous stunts on his bicycle to the adolescent with a near-obsessive attraction to speed and the smell of petrol.
After a series of jobs in local radio, he graduated to television and eventually to Top Gear. His insights into the personalities, the camaraderie and the stunts for which Top Gear has become famous, make compulsive reading. It was whilst filming for Top Gear that Richard was involved in a high speed crash, driving a jet-powered dragster.
His wife Mindy tells the story of the anxious hours and days of watching and waiting until he finally emerged from his coma. In an extraordinarily powerful piece of writing, she and Richard then piece together the stages of his recovery as his shattered mind slowly reformed. The final chapter recounts his return home and his triumphant reappearance in front of the cameras.
Jeremy Clarkson, it has to said, sometimes finds the world a maddening place. And nowhere more so than from behind the wheel of a car, where you can see any number of people acting like lunatics while in control or not of a ton of metal. In this collection of classic columns, first published in , Jeremy takes a look at the world through his windscreen, shakes his head at what he sees - and then puts the boot in.
Praise for Jeremy Clarkson: 'Brilliant.
