In spite of his penchant for fast driving and high performance cars, Clarkson has been reported as having a clean licence.^[8] Nonetheless, he is not reluctant to discuss driving fast: In a November 2005 article in The Sunday Times, Clarkson wrote, while discussing the Bugatti Veyron, "On a recent drive across Europe I desperately wanted to reach the top speed but I ran out of road when the needle hit 240mph", and later, in the same article, "From the wheel of a Veyron, France is the size of a small coconut. I cannot tell you how fast I crossed it the other day.

Television career

Cars

Clarkson is most associated with the British motoring programme Top Gear, which he presented 27 October 1988 – 3 February 2000^[10], in the programme's original format, and then again from 20 October 2002, when it was relaunched in a new format after a brief period off the air. His current co-presenters are James May and Richard Hammond. It is now the most-watched TV show on BBC Two,^[11]and is also shown in over 100 countries around the world.^[12] It won an International Emmy in 2005, for the best non-scripted entertainment show that was not broadcast in the United States. Clarkson said: "I didn't attend the awards ceremony because I didn't know that we had won, and I only found out after a 4am text message, whilst I was busy writing the script for the next show....". It then also received a National Television Award for best Factual Programme in 2006, defeating the likes of Planet Earth and Bad Lad's Army.^[13] is the 300th day of the year (301st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Clarkson has periodically released motoring-based videos, such as "Clarkson - Unleashed on Cars".^[14] Over the years, his videos have shown him driving many exotic cars, including a Ford GT40 which had been specially adapted to accommodate taller drivers; Clarkson is 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m). He is also known for destroying his most hated cars in various ways, including catapulting a Nissan Sunny using a trebuchet, and dropping a Porsche 911 onto a caravan (after plunging a piano onto the bonnet and dousing it in hydrochloric acid, amongst other things). He has also presented other motoring-related series such as Star Cars, Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld, and Jeremy Clarkson's Car Years.^[15] The Nissan Sunny is a small car manufactured by Nissan of Japan. ...

Beyond cars

Although closely associated with motoring, Clarkson has appeared on and hosted a number of shows on other topics. For three years Clarkson had his own chat show, Clarkson, on which he was most noted for offending the Welsh by placing a 3D plastic map of Wales into a microwave oven and switching it on. He later defended this by saying "I put Wales in there because Scotland wouldn't fit". Similarly, he once removed the USA from a map and renamed the resultant space the 'South Canada Sea'.^[16] Clarkson also hosted a six part series, Jeremy Clarkson Meets the Neighbours, in which he took a Jaguar E-type around Europe visiting France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. The programme explored the stereotypes of each of the countries to see whether or not they were true.^[17]

After the dismissal of Angus Deayton, Clarkson was one of a number of guest hosts recruited to present the topical panel show, Have I Got News for You. He was the first such host never to have previously been a guest of the programme. As of 13 April 2007, he has presented the show five times and been a guest once. Clarkson has also appeared as a guest on the BBC series QI 4 times, 'winning' twice. He also presented an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, notable for the absence of long time host Mark Lamarr, featuring guests Jim Jeffries, Trisha Goddard, Rick Wakeman, and Lee Ryan, on 13 August 2006.

Clarkson has presented a number of shows focused on history. For example, he presented a programme looking at Victoria Cross winners, in particular focusing on his father-in-law Robert Henry Cain who won the VC during Operation Market Garden at Arnhem in World War 2.^[18] In 2007 he presented a programme about the St. Nazaire Raid (also called Operation Chariot), which took place in WWII. A subsequent programme showed how the graphics were created, the highlight being the construction and blowing up of a scale model of the HMS Campbeltown the ship that was used in the raid.^[19] The Victoria Cross (VC) is a military decoration awarded for valour in the face of the enemy to members of armed forces of some Commonwealth countries and previous British Empire territories. ...

Engineering interests

Clarkson is passionate about engineering, especially pioneering work, as his television programmes about Isambard Kingdom Brunel and the Colossus computer have shown. Clarkson was awarded an honorary degree from Brunel University on 12 September 2003, partly because of his work in popularising engineering, and partly because of his advocacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the 100 Greatest Britons programme.^[21] Engineering is the design, analysis, and/or construction of works for practical purposes. ...

In April 2004 he appeared on the talk show Parkinson and mentioned that he was writing a book about the soul he believes many machines have. The book, titled I Know You Got Soul was published in October 2004. He cited Air France Flight 4590 as his primary example: when people heard the plane had crashed, quite aside from the sadness they felt for the loss of human life, there was also almost a sadness for the machine. Clarkson was one of the passengers on the last BA Concorde flight on 24 October 2003. He paraphrased Neil Armstrong to describe the retiring of the Concorde: "This is one small step for a man, but one huge leap backwards for mankind".^[22] 2004 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December Deaths in April • 18 Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara • 19 Norris McWhirter • 22 Pat Tillman • 24 Estée Lauder Other recent deaths Ongoing events EU Enlargement Exploration of Mars: Rovers Haiti Rebellion Reconstruction of Iraq – Occupation & Resistance Israeli...

Clarkson owns various cars including a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, a Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, a Volvo XC90, a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Ford Focus, and an ex-military Land Rover Defender, and used to own a Ford Escort RS Cosworth and a Ford GT.His wife owns an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. His experiences with his Ford GT are well documented, having had many issues with the satellite tracker/alarm system - he reported that it would tell him the car had been stolen even when he was driving it, among other problems, including the rev limit inexplicably being reset to 600 rpm. As a result of what he called "the most miserable month's motoring possible", he returned it to Ford for a full refund. After a short period, including asking Top Gear fans for advice over the Internet, he bought back his GT. He has called it "the most unreliable car ever made", due to his never being able to complete a return journey using it.^[23] In the October 2006 edition of Top Gear Magazine James May stated that Clarkson was looking to purchase a Gallardo Spyder. Clarkson announced at MPH'06 that he had ordered the Gallardo Spyder, with orange seats, and that he sold the Ford GT to make way for it. He has owned many exotic or high performance cars, including a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and a Ferrari F355. He also previously owned an XJR Jaguar and bought a BMW Z1 for his wife.^{[24] [25]} He has also owned a 1970s Alfa GTV6, and has a passion for the marque, declaring famously on Top Gear, "You are not a petrol-head until you've owned an Alfa". In his book I Know You Got Soul the Alfa 166 was one of only three cars classified as having that "special something". Clarkson quotably called the Brera, Alfa's latest sports car, "Cameron Diaz on wheels".^[26] The Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder is the convertible version of the Lamborghini Gallardo ...

His known passion for single- or two-passenger high-velocity transport led to his brief acquisition of an English Electric Lightning F.1A jet fighter, which was installed in the front garden of his country home. The Lightning was subsequently removed on the orders of the local council, which "wouldn't believe my claim that it was a leaf blower", according to Clarkson on a Tiscali Motoring webchat. In fact, the whole affair was a setup for the programme Speed, and English Electric Lightning XM172 is now back serving as gate guardian at Booker airfield, High Wycombe.^[27] The English Electric Lightning (later the BAC Lightning) was a supersonic fighter aircraft of the Cold War era, particularly remembered for its great speed and natural metal exterior. ...

Views

Clarkson is well known for his posturing and deadpan delivery. This frequently includes fairly abrasive and deliberately provocative remarks that have repeatedly been a source of controversy. However, Clarkson has been known to appear to take resultant criticism with humour, e.g. responding to being pied with "Great shot!"^[29] Pieing is the act of throwing a pie at someone. ...

Rover

One of Clarkson's most infamous dislikes was of the British car brand Rover. Rover cars were manufactured at Austin Motor Company's Longbridge plant. After BMW pulled out of Longbridge, Rover was bought by the Phoenix Consortium and the English MG and Rover brands merged becoming the last major British owned and built car manufacturer. Clarkson did reserve some sympathy for the Rover workers left jobless, saying in his Sunday Times column, "I cannot even get teary and emotional about the demise of the company itself — though I do feel sorry for the workforce."^[30] // Rover was a British automobile manufacturer and later a marque based at the former Austin Longbridge plant in Birmingham. ...

Vauxhall

Clarkson is well known for his criticism of Vauxhall Motors.^[31][32] Clarkson has described Vauxhall's parent company General Motors as a "pensions and healthcare" company which sees the "car making side of the business as an expensive loss-making nuisance".^[32] For information about the football team see Vauxhall Motors F.C.

General Motors Corporation, also known as GM, is the worlds largest auto company by annual production volume as of 2006, and the second largest by sales volume as of the first half of 2007, behind Toyota Motor Corporation. ...

Clarkson has expressed his disdain of the Vauxhall Vectra, including making what The Independent described as a "characteristically clever" film for Top Gear when the Vectra was launched, which it judged may have damaged its sales.^[33] Vauxhall complained to the BBC and announced "we can take criticism but this piece was totally unbalanced".^[34] He has described it as "One of my least favourite cars in the world. I've always hated it because I've always felt it was designed in a coffee break by people who couldn't care less about cars" and "one of the worst chassis I've ever come across".^[35] 1992 Opel Vectra 2. ... The Independent is a British compact newspaper published by Tony OReillys Independent News & Media. ...

However, he has expressed his approval of several Vauxhall models; he has been complimentary about the Astra VXR, Astra SRi and the Corsa VXR . Although highlighting that he thinks the VXR torque steers "like an absolute pig" and has poor handling in general,^[36] he has also expressed admiration for its looks, speed and price.^[37] Regarding the SRi he said, "when a car looks this good it can't be bad".^[32] Of the Monaro VXR he said, "It's like they had a picture of me on their desk and said (Australian accent) 'I'm gonna make that bloke a car'" and "I can't believe it... I've fallen in love... with a Vauxhall!". He later commented that the Vauxhall Monaro VXR should have window wipers on the side windows, as you spend most of your time sideways when driving in the car.^[38]Clarkson suffered two slipped discs that he attributes to driving this car.^[39] A spinal disc herniation, incorrectly called a slipped disc, is a medical condition affecting the spine, in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion (nucleus pulposus) to bulge out. ...

Perodua Kelisa

In April 2007 he was criticized in the Malaysian parliament for having described one of their cars, the Perodua Kelisa as the worst in the world, built in jungles by people who wear leaves for shoes. It was refuted that no complaints were received from UK customers who had purchased the car.^[40] The offending remark was shown on one of his video productions, Jeremy Clarkson: Heaven and Hell (2005),^[41] in which he purchases a brand new Kelisa, proceeds to attack it with a sledgehammer as soon as he purchases it from a local dealership, tears it apart with a heavy weight while it is hanged and finally blows it up. He described the Kelisa as "Built with no soul, no flair and no passion; like a washing machine or fridge" and "A piece of un-imaginative junk". April 2007 is the fourth month of the year. ... The Perodua Kelisa is a compact car based on a 7th generation Daihatsu Mira, and manufactured by Perodua. ...

Anti-American remarks

Throughout Top Gear, Clarkson has made Anti-American remarks, often stereotyping Americans as fat and dull-witted. For example, in September 2005 Clarkson wrote an editorial for The Sun: "Most Americans barely have the brains to walk on their back legs".^[42] He has also said on Top Gear when comparing a rural British village with a rural American village that "In rural America, the town would be full of people doing… whatever it is they do. Incest, mostly".^[43] One of Clarkson's most famous remarks was made during the 'American Odyssey' episode of Top Gear, where he stated 'In some parts of America people have begun to mate with vegetables.' In addition to this, a U.S. version of "Top Gear" has been halted because of Clarkson's refusal to live in America during its filming. 2005 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December- → Deaths in September September 28 : Constance Baker Motley September 25 : M.

Allegations of bigotry

In October 1998 Hyundai Motor Company complained to the BBC about what they described as "bigoted and racist" comments he made at the Birmingham Motor Show, where he was reported as saying that the people working on the Hyundai stand had "eaten a dog" (due to the fact that Koreans are known for their consumption of dogs), and that the designer of the Hyundai XG had probably eaten a spaniel for his lunch. He also allegedly referred to those working on the BMW stand as "Nazis".^[44] 1998 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...
