Clarkson DVD
Jeremy Clarkson’s latest DVD is called Heaven & Hell and covers some of the best & worst cars of 2005. It does not include the new Bugatti as it was not out when the DVD was recorded. Jeremy continues his love of all things Ferrari waxing poetic about the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. This, his best of 2005, is one of three his showcases. As a Ferrari agnostic I was rather disappointed to see so many included. However he does feature the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and the Masarati Quattroporte. Inexplicably he has a head to head contest between a Chevy Corvette (ie big engine in a plastic car) vs the new TVR; the Sagaris. It is a given the TVR is a better looking car and better built; but why oh why didn’t Jeremy compare the car to the new Dodge Viper?
It being Clarkson he destroys several rubbish cars with explosives, stunt driving, a skip and of course his rapier wit.
All in all this is an amusing hour+ to spend avoiding the rubbish telly on at the moment. I suspect that this type of DVD gets bought and shared round to a group of friends. I suspect that Jon P will be itching to get his mits on this for a mellow night in after the New Year.
Let’s face it you might not always agree with him but Clarkson is great fun whether it be in his column, books (collected columns) solo TV shows & DVDs or Top Gear. And there is one thing for sure he is one of the few things that saves the sorry state of British telly.

Ha-ha! Indeed, I will be putting in my request to borrow it. Clarkson is one of the good guys.
I got it too. Well worth a watch.
