Television icon Jeremy Clarkson has candidly shared insights on why he's hung up his keys in terms of presenting car shows with the wrap-up of The Grand Tour. Making a name for himself as one of the globe's most recognized faces in the world of cars since he took the wheel at Top Gear in 1988, Jeremy has shifted gears away from autos. The revelation came during a cosy Q&A at his Diddly Squat Farm pub, The Farmer's Dogwhere fans flock following the success of Amazon Prime's Clarkson's Farm.
In this intimate setting, Jeremy revealed he simply had a waning interest in cars. He said: "No, honestly no. They're all ****, mate.
Genuinely, I look at them all, well not all, but I guess we're all in the same boat about this. 80 percent, 90 percent of them, I couldn't even identify them." "I don't know what they are and I don't care.
They [the companies] could say 'we've got a new hybrid drive system', and I just couldn't give a ****!" Clarkson first etched his signature on the road with a test review back in the late 1970s, soaring to prominence as he embraced the role of presenter for BBCs Top Gear in 1988. After steering the consumer-oriented motor magazine show for over a decade, he exited only to return and pump Top Gear full throttle into a televisual phenomenon in 2002, with the help of mates Richard Hammond, Jason Dawe, and eventually James May, reports the Express . Jeremy reminisced about his love for driving classic cars, particularly on the roads near his Chipping Norton far.
