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?

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...

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?

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