“..I don’t understand the Land Rover Discovery. It’s like torque and electricity and Peter Mandelson. We know it exists and we know what it does. But we can’t explain it very easily. In the olden days, it made sense. There was a big hole between the utilitarian, bring-your-own-earplugs Defender and the Range Rover, which had [...]

There has been a lot of talk recently of the ideology of the Tory Party leadership in Britain around David Cameron and how they are influenced by the " Red Toryism " of Philip Blond . With Cameron increasingly presented by the MSM as Prime Minister in waiting we might be forgiven for supposing that this "Red Toryism" was something of a popular current, a spirit of the age . In fact,...

One of the features of Prospect magazine that has long been a draw is its "In Fact" column. The latest edition , however, contains two "facts" that I simply do not believe: According to in-house estimates at The Times , Jeremy Clarkson is responsible for 25 per cent of timesonline.co.uk traffic. Vanity Fair , November 2009. 22 per cent of men “regularly include a kiss on texts...

Apologies for the lack of posts recently - I have had a virus all week. This has led to much sitting around and doing nothing, since when I tried to do something on Thursday I fainted. Well, actually, I felt dizzy and lay down on the kitchen floor for fifteen minutes. Sort of a controlled faint. After that, doing nothing some more seemed like a sterling plan. This, of course, has allowed me to indulge...

Jeremy Clarkson as part of the utterly brilliant Top Gear did a challenge a couple of years ago where he attempted to race a Honda NSX around the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca circuit with the same lap time a he could achieve in Gran Turismo 4.

It was interesting to note that, after all of the Sun newspapers protestations about Gordon Brown’s miss spelling of a war heroes name, they also managed to miss spell it in their own “low life” tabloid. Naturally their mistake was excusable and his was not. I wonder if they have ever heard of the word hypocrisy! Perhaps it is too long for the Sun and many of their readers. It is...

Jeremy Clarkson thinks the 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI is "perfect." But should we really care what he thinks? We mean, he can't even tell a funny elephant joke.

It is said that sometimes, a reputed face of an industry can rise a business or knock it down to ashes with just some public words. It is the case of Reva, the Indian electric car producer, which had the bad luck of coming across with the automotive guru, Jeremy Clarkson, who didn’t have quite laudative comments about them.
