Love him or loathe him, you cannot ignore him: Motoring aficionado, comic writer, TV presenter, engineering buff, journalist, author and unapologetic bon viveur, Jeremy Clarkson is one of Britain's most controversial personalities, and in this riveting and entertaining biography, frank views and hilariously candid anecdotes appear alongside the life story of the self-confessed Eurosceptic, chain-smoking petrol head. After a stint as a travelling salesman, Clarkson set up his own press agency, and soon found fame and fortune with BBC's Top Gear. Notoriously hit in the face awith a banana meringue pie on receipt of his honorary degree, he has been accused of calling cyclists 'muesli freaks' and BMW employees 'Nazis'. From causing huge disruption, to defending the rights of drivers, to fisticuffs with Piers Morgan, this is the true story of a colourful life lived at breakneck speed.
