Download or read book Top Gear Drives of a Lifetime written by Dan Read and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, Top Gear dispatches correspondents to cover many serious stories around the world. Wherever they go, they ask tough questions and leave no stone unturned in search of the cold, hard truth. Questions such as: Is it possible to drive a Ferrari up a Scottish ski slope? Exactly how far can you drive a bulldozer across the Antarctic before it falls down a big crack? And what happens when you drive a small 4X4 up a volcano, during an earthquake, with a high chance of eruption? The answers to all of the above – and more – can be found in Top Gear Top Drives, a new book featuring Top Gear’s best adventures, neatly arranged in precise geographic order: top, middle and bottom. These are not Sunday drives to country pubs. You will not find any mentions of freshly cut grass and picnics under oak trees. In fact, you are more likely to encounter roadside landmines and a pack of Chilean llamas with a relaxed approach to personal hygiene. Of course you will also find supercars on winding mountain passes, but this book goes much further, bringing you the most unusual combinations of car and tarmac – or lack of it – from across our planet. All of which are accompanied by a surprisingly useful collection of travel tips, featuring such useful advice as when to go, what the weather’s like and where to find a reasonably priced beer. Like any classic travel guide, you really shouldn’t leave home without it. Unless you write down the really important bits, in which case you’ll probably be OK.

Download or read book Top Gear The Alternative Highway Code written by Ministry of Top Gear and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-06-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As everyone knows, there are three ways of doing things. The right way, the wrong way and the Top Gear way. Although, on reflection, that's usually just the wrong way, but faster and with more shouting. Anyway, the good news is that this third way of doing things can be applied to almost anything, and that includes motoring in general. All you need is the right guidance, which is where the brand new Top Gear Alternative Highway Code comes in. Top Gear's Altnernative Highway Code will show you how to bring the ambitious but rubbish philosophies of the world's most popular TV programme to your driving, containing advice on general motoring, as well as specific tips on how to deal with common eventualities like a rapidly sinking amphibious camper van, a caravan airship that's just crashed into a small bush, or a stupid home-made limousine that's snapped in half while transporting a top celebrity to an awards ceremony. Road users should not leave home without it.
Download or read book The Top Gear Story written by Martin Roach and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May at the helm, Top Gear became a true global phenomenon. However, after the infamous 'fracas' involving Clarkson and one of the show's producers, it's all change in the Top Gear universe. Top Gear's devoted viewers around the world (at its peak; 350 million in 170 countries) await its new incarnations with expectation, intrigue and some apprehension. It remains to be seen whether Clarkson, Hammond and May can re-create their old madcap genius on Amazon Prime, and the new BBC presenters have already had to deal with tabloid controversies and rumours. Whatever happens, it's going to make for fascinating viewing. This is an in-depth, fully up-to-date tribute to one of Britain's biggest TV exports and will be a must-read for any fan of the show.
Download or read book On the Road written by Richard Hammond and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ON THE ROAD: GROWING UP IN EIGHT JOURNEYS - MY EARLY YEARS is a new form of autobiography, in which TOP GEAR presenter Richard Hammond tells the story of his early life through a series of significant driving episodes. He's a child in the back seat of Dad's car on the way to the seaside in Weston-Super-Mare. He's on his first bike, a red one, in Solihull, then on his first motorcycle, a Honda MTX50. He's at the wheel of his first car (and in the back with his first girlfriend). He is driving a furniture delivery van as part of his first job in and around Ripon. Now he is showing off with a friend, risking everything. ON THE ROAD is an emotional road map in which each chapter has its own registration number, and its own distinctive interior. Most importantly, each chapter sets off and arrives. ON THE ROAD surges on to its destination, reversing or moving quickly through the gears, reliving the central episodes and conflicts of Richard's life. Every chapter is a stage in a longer journey. Although there are precious few road-rage monologues against four-wheel drivers and men in vests in white vans, Richard Hammond's readers will quickly recognise the funny self-deprecating and balanced ease that has made him one of Britain's best-loved writers and television presenters.

Download or read book Any Colour So Long as It s Black written by Peter Roberts and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This retrospective look at 50 years of international motor advertising provides a unique "mirror of the times" and gives more than just an insight into the history of the automobile industry itself. Motor advertising has both molded and reflected public demand, public taste, and the manners and mores of the age. The 150 illustrations in this book therefore range from the downright misleading pronouncements of charlatans to the evocative lyricism of brilliant copyrighters like Ned Jordan. Chapters are devoted to the early use of motor sport in advertising, the feminine influence on sales techniques, and the effects of the postwar mass market on motor advertising."--Jacket.
