Around the drive of his last lap on the Top Gear circuit has the BBC Jeremy Clarksons freedom of movement is substantially curtailed, to prevent it from ‘a souvenir’ would take. Also do we know which of the 3 supercars, he last week reed.
To the last, JC gave the answer already implied in his tweet (‘Right. About to do my last ever lap of the Top Gear test track. What car should I use?‘). It was, therefore, the 488 GTB – freshly flown in from Italy – for his last (charitable)tour, together with Pink Floyd-drummert Nick Mason.
Much further than the little track came Jezza does not, however, as the guy everybody loves to hate today record in the Sunday Times: “The Top Gear portable office was locked to stop me taking even a small souvenir. The hangar was empty.”
North Korean practices? Fanboys will be loudly calling out “yes”, opponents find it that Kim-Jong-Beeb, the offices of jealously for him closed loved (‘actually pretty childish, you hit once a producer on his mouth, and immediately, you’re a pariah in your own ranks’) after all, he’s not an employee anymore, and if you’re not working you need to pass return.
This season is Clarkson replaced by a skinny radioginger with a penchant for ferraris. Until now, few people believe that this concept is the old Top Gear formula is going to outperform, in terms of success. Except for a few people in Maranello.
