Product Details:(The Very Best of Extreme Machines) – “Don’t get in Jeremy, you’ll kill yourself” Wise but wasted words as Jeremy Clarkson puts the ‘pedal to the metal’ and takes a ride in the most formidable vehicles the world has to offer. Fighter planes modified to fly twice as fast as their makers intended, and the jet boat best described as a super charged V8 water pump nesting in a soap dish. There’s even a demolition derby – in a combine harvester. If it really is like riding a hand-grenade with the pin pulled out, then Jeremy’s up for it. This is an edited version of the series originally transmitted in the UK 8-1-1998 – 12-2-98. (The Very Best of Speed) – What kind of idiot would tether himself to a rocket and fly at over 100 mph? In a series of foolhardy, but thrilling rides, Jeremy Clarkson tries his luck at a bobsleigh, piloting a jet fighter, dragboat racing, jet-biking, driving across the Bonneville Flats at over 250 mpg and other speed-freak madness, as he attempts to define the skills, thrills and beauty of breakneck speed. This is an edited version of the series originally transmitted in the UK 10-6-01 – 15-7-01. (The Very Best of Motorworld) – Why are Italians more interest in looking good than looking where they’re going? Why do Indians crash a lot? How can an Arab describe himself as ‘not a rich man’ with four of the world’s most expensive cars on his drive? And why have the otherwise neutral Swiss declared war on the car? Travelling to Cuba, Iceland, India, the USA, Italy and others, Clarkson takes a look at car cultures around the globe in his first individual television series. This is an edited version of the series originally transmitted in the UK 5-1-95 – 9-2-95 and 4-1-96 – 8-2-96.
