Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson's contract will not be renewed, the BBC said after an internal investigation into what it earlier called a fracas with a producer. Top Gear was named as the world's most widely watched factual program in the Guinness World Records 2013 Edition book, with an estimated

Did anybody catch last week's Top Gear? Jeremy bought a 9 year old CL600 for 7000 quid, with 120k on the odo. Richard bought a much older 850i for the same money, and they're going to run them a while and see if anything expensive goes wrong. I feel sorry for Hammond. Mitch.
