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.
