JEREMY Clarkson knows there's more to life than cars.
There is, after all, a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered.
So, before he gets on to torque steer and active suspension, he'd like to take a little time to consider the bigger picture.
Don't worry, we'll get to the car bit in the end, but before we do, we'll learn about: the unfortunate collapse of the British empire; why Galapagos tortoises are all mental; France, reduced to the size of a small coconut; why Jeremy Paxman and the bass guitarist of AC/DC aren't so very different; the problems of being English; and God's most stupid creation.
Then there are the cars. Whether it's the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, firebreathing supercar, no one else writes about cars like Jeremy.
