Does Clarkson Do His Own Stunts?

August 17, 2011

According to the latest report from The Mail Online, that is certainly not the case.  In one particular case quoted, shots of Clarkson smashing around a wet track in a Lambo are interspersed with external (extremely quick) sideways moments.  Clarkson has driven all manner of powerful machinery, so there’s no reason why he couldn’t have [...]

Top Gear approaches the legendary Lancia car collection in this video – demonstrating the fact that Lancia made some of the best (and worst) cars in history – but generally speaking they would rot away quite often!
