Jeremy Clarkson would have liked to dismiss the Bugatti Veyron. When the McLaren F1 came out, Clarkson thought it was a stupid car, with a stupid price. The same could be said about the Veyron. “Why dream”, he asked, “about something there’s no point dreaming about?” But in a rare moment of reflection, Jeremy admits he can be wrong. “I try on opinions like I try on clothes, standing in front of a mirror and wondering if they suit me,” he writes. “Sometimes, I take them home and realise I made a bad choice, so I throw them away and get new ones.” And so he did. “The Veyron has rendered everything I’ve ever said about any other car obsolete,” he admits. “They weren’t fighting to beat Mercedes or BMW. These guys were fighting to beat heat, and friction and lift. They were fighting nature.”

It is pretty ironic that one of the worst dressed men on TV is talking about clothes. I too am not a fan of this big oaf. He is such a phony.

For someone who doesn’t appreciate the McLaren F1, I don’t have to take his opinions seriously.

You won’t believe how amazingly dull I can be when I’m not talking about cars you can never possibly afford in your lifetime. I mean, you may think you may strike it rich, but that is mere peanuts to what it would take to be so bloody rich to afford this car. In fact, you would be able to fund four trips to the moon in a Saturn V rocket and still have enough change leftover to buy a modest home in Devonshire for the amount it takes to buy this car. Did you know I one time hit a cow on a country path and field dressed with my teeth? I am a giant among men, I am the Goliath and the rest of the world are my Davids…JEREMY SMASH
