Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame, Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, and Sebring 12 Hours winner Marino Franchitti. One Ferrari LaFerrari and Mercedes-AMG GT S joined by one fine-looking Ferrari 488 GTB. A Top Gear test track. This is what we’ve been handed, now let’s make the best of them because this is Jeremy Clarkson’s last ever Top Gear lap.
Despite the fracas incident that announced the end of Top Gear as we know, we can’t help but feel sorry for the old orangutan that entertained us for 13 straight years on TV, doing his “Poweeeeer!” antics. After the last episode had aired, Twitter was laden with tweets such as: “Sunday evenings will never be the same again.” It’s a gloomy outcome, alright.
Remember when Jeremy Clarkson was filmed in late March, saying some naughty words about the BBC higher-ups that shameless compared his punch-up with the paedophilia that torn Jimmy Savile’s image. If you insist, we remind you that he said the following: “I'll go down to Surrey, and I'll do one last lap of that track before the f****** b******* sack me...”
A frustrated man he was then, declaring that he’ll get “probably an Austin Metro,” to perform that last ever Top Gear track lap during an emotional rant. Fast-forward four months since that story and here we are today, with Jeremy Clarkson tweeting the following two pictures and messages. Things have worked out great for the guy, especially that LaFerrari owned by a pensioner - Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.
The question is what car should Jeremy Clarkson use to do his last lap. Something shouty, something of an automotive equivalent to Clarkson. We tend to go with the LaFerrari. In the second picture, the one with the boys in a 2016 Volvo XC90, one can feel the emotions Jeremy Clarkson is going through at the present moment. This is the end of an era, but it was one hell of a ride. Now hurry up with that new car show!

UPDATE: Jeremy Clarkson finished his last ever lap of the Top Gear test track. Despite this emotional farewell to the Dunsfold Aerodrome, we find out that whichever car Jeremy chose, he got the tail out to raise a lot of pounds sterling "for a good cause."
My last ever lap of the Top Gear track is done. Bit sad leaving the place for the final time.

2 good things about the last lap. It raised a load of cash for a good cause. And I did the motherfucker of all tail slides through Chicago.
