Round the Bend
Round the Bend

Irreverent global journeys in performance cars.

If you're a fan of sharp wit meshed with the thrills of high-performance vehicles, "Round the Bend" by Jeremy Clarkson is a ride worth taking. Imagine the quirkiest road trip anecdotes laced with a very British sense of humor, ready to entertain anyone with a taste for fast cars and faster quips. With Clarkson, no topic is off-limits, making this read a delightful break from the mundane.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Jeremy Clarkson gets really riled in Round the Bend. What's it like to drive a car that's actively trying to kill you? This and many other burning questions trouble Jeremy Clarkson as he sets out to explore the world from the safety of four wheels. Avoiding the legions of power-crazed traffic wombles attempting to block highway and byway, he shows how the world of performance cars may be likened to Battersea Dogs Home, reveals why St Moritz may be the most bonkers town in all of the world, reminds us that Switzerland is so afraid of snow that any flakes falling on the road are immediately arrested, and argues that washing a car is a waste of time. Funny, globe-trotting, irreverent and sometimes downright rude, Round the Bend is packed with curious and fascinating but otherwise hopelessly useless stories and facts about everything under the sun (and just occasionally cars). It's Jeremy Clarkson at his brilliant best.
