Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson Takes on Hong Kong Press

Top Gear continues it’s march around the pacific, this time turning up this weekend for the Top Gear Live show in Hong Kong.

According to Hong Kong’s The Standard:

Well, not for long. Soon, the engagingly verbose presenter was cracking jokes about copresenter Richard Hammond’s height (or lack of it) and Hong Kong’s taxi drivers. “Why are the taxis here not fitted with rear suspension and why is everyone a Michael Schumacher?” he observed.

Clarkson goes on to explain how he has seen all of Hong Kong in 24 hours and is now tired. Hong Kong is the last stop of the World Tour which commenced on the 30th October last year, passed through Jo burg, Sydney and Auckland. North American viewers are completely out of luck.

The tour has not been without it’s incidents with Jeremy calling Gordon Brown a one eyed git, Ferraris being Toyotas,  Stig storming out of a press conference and Hammond and Clarkson almost being at the wrong end of a bird strike.

They will be sadly missed at this end of the pacific.
