&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/236251573-mr-wilman-s-motoring-adventure"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6cb4ee"&gt;Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lift the bonnet on 20 years of magic and mayhem on&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Top Gear&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;The Grand Tour&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;- from the mysterious man behind the camera . . .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-weight: bold"&gt;-- &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-weight: bold"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Top Gear &lt;/em&gt;turned gloomy Sunday nights into celebratory Friday nights. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It made household names of presenters Clarkson, Hammond and May, their unique chemistry and buddy movie antics proving irresistible to a vast global audience. With these three at the helm, Top Gear earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the most popular factual TV show on the planet. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Then, a short while later, it was all gone. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How did a thoroughly sensible little consumer advice programme on cars turn into a global phenomenon in the first place, though? How did it all go wrong? And how did they rise from the ashes as &lt;em&gt;The Grand Tour&lt;/em&gt;, and go on to scale even greater heights? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-weight: bold"&gt;One man has all the answers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There from the beginning, &lt;em&gt;Top Gear&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Grand Tour&lt;/em&gt; co-creator, and Jeremy’s oldest friend, Andy Wilman, opens the bonnet on over twenty years of motoring mayhem. In &lt;em&gt;Mr Wilman's Motoring Adventure&lt;/em&gt;, the mysterious man in the shadows tells the inside story of your favourite TV shows for the first time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Irreverent, joyful and as laugh-out-loud funny as the shows themselves, it’s the best book about &lt;em&gt;Top Gear&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Grand Tour&lt;/em&gt; . . . in the world. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
