India Special photoset 17: Jeremy does not get flattened by a lorry, much to the disappointment of all those lorry drivers he offended back in 2008. Indeed, he lives to give a classic Clarkson wildlife commentary on a par with ‘It’s got babies… SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!’ and his description of elephants scooping up water with their noses:
Monkey! MONKEEEEEEEEEEEEE! With MASSIVE TESTICLES!
Later, the boys take their fine British wares to market, where James demonstrates his lawnmower on a surface that isn’t a lawn, leaving the shoppers decidedly unimpressed. And then Jeremy and Richard ‘modify’ James’ car a bit.
The following day, the trio drive into staggeringly beautiful terrain. Staggeringly beautiful, but a bit inhospitable, especially to large luxury cars that aren’t really set up for offroading. Nobody’s greatly surprised when James and his Rolls-Royce get stuck, but at least Hammond had the foresight to fit a winch to his Mini. That’s bound to help, isn’t it?
