… an ideology on wheels
The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.
'Top Gear''s popularity is a complete mystery to me. Maybe it's because it's still a car programme, but it's turned into a distorted world view from three men; a world view through the windscreen.
Driving will never be away from me - I can't just give it up. It's all I've ever done, and there's something about being in that car.
There wasn't a moment where I got into cars. It wasn't a conscience decision or something that came later, it was there since I was born. I just love it.
In America we don't just drive cars. We inhabit them.
'Top Gear' is one of those shows that you'd love to do.
