Product Description

Product Description
A Ferrari F40 has it, a Lexus hasn't. Concorde's got it, but not an Airbus. And while Titanic had it in spades, the Queen Mary 2 must have been in the wrong queue. Soul. Some machines matter to us while others are, well, just machines. In his own inimitable way, Jeremy Clarkson tells the gripping stories of the planes, trains and automobiles that inspire us; and of the geniuses and visionaries that built them. Lavishly illustrated, I Know You Got Soul is the perfect Christmas present for boys of all ages.

About the Author
Jeremy Clarkson is the presenter of Top Gear. He writes for Top Gear Magazine and The Sunday Times

5.0 out of 5 stars More than pretty pictures, 24 Nov 2004
By Richard Hammond (St. Albans, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Love or hate the man who made jeans uncool, this is a superb bit of popular writing. The selection of machines is varied enough to provide lots of interest, there is some terrific trivia in there (the weight of--biggest battleship ever--Yamato's amour on it's own was greater than that of the whole of the second biggest battleship ever) and some great arguments supporting Clarkson's choices.

My Dad will love this for Christmas, so I'm going to buy it for him. (Try saying that last line without sounding like Clarkson - go on).

Really good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 23 Nov 2004
Once again jeremy clarkson has given us a book that is truly amazing. his humour and wit is present throughout but it is also surprisingly informative and when you read it you just don't seem to want it to end. when i first saw what machines he had chosen for this book i didn't really see where he was coming from but after reading it i have to agree with them all, these machines do have a certain something about them that others just don't. the tails he tells of his encounters with these machines are hillarious. for example the lack of inteligence on board the US aircraft carriers and the trainspotters at doncaster station.

I would recommend this book to anyone, purely for the fact that somewhere in this book there will be something that relates to your life in some way and has changed the way we all live today.

I knew from before i opened the first page this would be a really good book and he didn't dissapoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars I know u got soul, spectacular book, 8 Aug 2005
By Daniel Robertson (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Having previously read a few Clarkson books i knew what to expect from him. From cover to cover i read with a smile on my face, his dry witty sense of humour is never over the top, yet manages to push the boundaries of sarcasm and exaggeration. A great read, recommended.
