What would he twat if he could get his blood sausage-sized fingers to type? More »

This time he's been behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DBS, Pagani Zonda F Roadster, McLaren SLR 722 GTR, and Porsche 911 Turbo to name a few. We know it might feel a bit like the Jeremy Clarkson Gawker Stalker around here as of late, with Jezza ranting on the CTS-V and ZR1, being spotted in Vietnam and on a scooter, and crashing head-on into things. You may be right. Mostly because love him or hate him, he's entertaining. [via FinalGear] More »

We can hardly wait for Series 12 to start, particularly because of the American road trip Jeremy and the boys had in a 2009 Corvette ZR1, 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. Though we'll have to see if their hour-long special trip to Vietnam is part of the upcoming series, or a stand-alone. [via TopGear] More »

Unlike their American trip to the Bonneville salt flats in which the chaps drive a Corvette ZR1, Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Cadillac CTS-V, the journey in Vietnam is allegedly happening on motorcycle. Well, three motorcycles we presume. Either way it's not going to be an easy trip from Ho Chi Minh City in the south to Hanoi in the north, but it will definitely make for entertaining television.

No word on which countries those will be, but its possible that the US will actually be a stop; a managing director of Top Gear, BBC Worldwide, saying: "Taking Top Gear Live on tour is tremendously exciting and ties in perfectly with our plans to reach out to audiences around the globe." BBC Worldwide says the live shows will "incorporate the drama of film and theatre with the thrills and spills of stunts and special effects" whatever that means. Let's just hope they keep The Stig's identity a secret. More »

Seems he was driving his 6.3-Liter Mercedes when a man driving with his girlfriend spied him allegedly chatting on his cell phone. They took a picture of the incident with, ironically, a camera phone and sent that to the authorities. If convicted (look at the pic), The Jezza could get three points off of his license and be out 60 pounds (which is like $5,000, right?). Full photo below the jump. More »

Apparently, some 25 million people's personal details were lost after two computer discs were misplaced. To prove that it wasn't a big deal, the Jezza published his bank account info claiming that "All you'll be able to do with them is put money into my account. Not take it out. Honestly, I've never known such a palaver about nothing." We think you can guess what happened next. More »

A petition on the web site of the current PM Gordon Brown is calling for Brown to step down and make Clarkson the new chief. The petition is gaining steam, with more than 30,000 signatures, outshining a petition to, for instance, build more skating rinks in local areas, which we all know could be a make-or-break issue for the current administration.

You know, the one where he proclaims that a smart, sensible baby haulin' minivan makes him a total DILF. Well, Jeremy Clarkson is having none of it. Clarkson hauls his wife and three daughters to the great city of Ottawa where he rents a Dodge Grand Caravan. We should pause right here and explain that Jezza may very well have borrowed a 2004 Grand Caravan. We doubt he knows the difference. Truth is, we don't really care about Jeremy's take on a minivan. No, we're posting this because of his take on Canada:
But by the same token no one in Canada ever wins on the horses, or escapes from a knife fight with their life, or has an orgasm. It is Switzerland with wheat.
Damn skippy. [Times Online] More »
