Witness, for the first time anywhere on the internet (well, anywhere, actually) the latest of Jeremy’s explosive telly stunts.
These exclusive pictures give us a glimpse of what happened when Clarkson tried to settle one of the great mysteries of our time – who is the fastest off-roading celebrity?
It’s a feature for his new DVD Clarkson: Duel, which has already placed the Stig in Puerto Banus and forced JC to drive a Jag XKR in flippers.
This time, there’s more fire. The set-up starts with Jeremy, pop singer bloke Ronan Keating, newsreader Kate Silverton and rugby player Matt Dawson drawing straws for a selection of secondhand 4×4s, including a Mitsubishi Shogun and a bright orange Lada Niva.
Once the cars are allocated, they are rigged with explosives and a timed detonator, forcing each celebrity to lap an off-road course before the car explodes. They either cross the line, bail or get fried.
We can’t give away the result, but can show you these, er, explosive pictures of the Shogun during the timed run.
All will be revealed later this week in a TopGear.com-exclusive video preview of the DVD, which is pre-orderable now on Amazon.
The one clue we do have is a member of the film crew overhearing Jeremy saying ‘the only decent car here is that old Shogun’. Given Jeremy’s overwhelming desire to win any of the Top Gear challenges the boys do on the telly, we can bet it was him that went up in smoke…
MAD!!!
