For all petrolheads/Top Gear fans out there! 

 

 

And ending the post with this beautiful pic of Richard and Oliver:

 

Meh! BBC actually fired Jeremy Clarkson!

 

 

I hope that Richard Hammond and James May decides to stick with their mate and go over to another channal and make a new kind of car show! 

 

This is an excellent book, I listen to it a couple of years ago as an audiobook, but bought it now because 1.) It was so good I want to read it again and 2.) It will look smashing in my bookshelf 3.) I have a bit of a Top Gear obsession (and I’m not even a car fan)

But anyway, if you are after a great autobiographical book, then this is one I wholeheartedly recommend!

 

5 stars!

Getting home after work to all these books waiting for me was nice! ;)

 

2 packages in the mailbox and 2 to collect from the store! :D

 

Oh how I teared up in parts of this.I have so much respect for this man - because he was careful to include the bad times during this ordeal. It wasn't a book thanking the staff and the network and his friends and family, no. It was saying how hard it all was, and how he acted badly in some parts or how hard he was to get along with, etc. He gave us the true story, which I don't think happens every time with these kinds of books.I love him more for it. I read it on the way home from England in my three day stopover in Tokyo, and those passing by must have been amused at the gaijan's tears. Some parts were hard to read.This man once got stuck in a traffic jam and ran for two or so hours to get home - where he left his car I don't know - before his daughter woke on her birthday. He's simply lovely.
