Jeremy Clarkson gets under the bonnet in Clarkson on Cars, a collection of his motoring journalism. Jeremy Clarkson has been driving cars, writing about them, and occasionally voicing his opinions on the BBC's Top Gear for 20 years. No one in the business is taller. In this collection of classic Clarkson, stretching back to the mid-1980s, he's pulled together the car columns and stories with which he made his name. As coal mines closed and house prices exploded to a soundtrack of men in make-up playing synthesizers, Jeremy was already waxing lyrical on topics as useful and diverse as the perils of bicycle ownership, why Australians—not Brits—need bull bars, why soon only geriatrics will be driving BMWs, the difficultly of deciding on the best car for your wedding, why Jesus's dad would...

More About Clarkson on Cars
Probably 3.5 to 4 stars, if it were a bit shorter. This is a collection of Clarkson's early essays --- quite funny at times (assuming you can handle his libertarian point of view), but sometimes repetitive. It's also fairly dated --- the piece on telephones in cars (why would you want one?) screams of the nineties. My favorite insights... I like Clarkson's later stuff so it was a surprise I didn't warm to his early writings, usually its the reverse with many authors. Most of these articles are outdated (made worse with no dates and therefore context), more whinging pom rant than humorous, and many of the cars he talks about are just too damn European for an Australian... Yeah, it's cool. The cars are bonkers. So is Mr. Clarkson. Besides, he too isn't a big fan of crazy chaps going around in circles over and over and over and over, then refueling, and then again going over and over and over and over, like in a looney toons cartoon!
