Good call there YE. I was thinking up some "life begins at 40" gag, but we all know that's wrong. My dad didn't stop moaning for months...

...anyway. As Top Gear is up in the air at the moment, can anyone tell me (according to Wikipedia) how many points Jeremy Clarkson has on his license?

Nope, all wrong.

sorry typo; i meant none.

Staggeringly, none is correct. Despite his penchant for high speeds, and the fact that he was nicked onscreen speeding in France (during one of the Top Gear challenges) he has, according to Wikipedia, a clean driving license.

Over to you, UP...

who would have thought it?

okay staying with a theme.

which company is the world's largest manufacturer of tyres?

Hmm. I'll do for dunlop seeing as they made them first. Failing that i'll have michelin. Or Pirelli. Or..... :P

nope, nope and nope, also not goodyear. think outside the box for this one.

Bridgestone?

I don't reckon we're talking car tyres here. How about Cheng Shin (Chinese cycle tyre manu) because they're what I've got on my bike?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 5:05 pm

nope. but a good guess.
bridgestone do manufacture the most car tyres but it's not the answer on my card.
