I LUV MY PRIUS!!!
If this has been discussed before, please flame me violently and point me to the right direction. My search hasn't brought up anything though.
The question is: How much does Jeremy Clarkson really know about cars?
This has been bugging me for ages, and it was just brought up again when I watched an episode from the second series. Referring to the Koenigsegg, Clarkson says "the supercharger whacking the fuel in". Now, everybody that knows a little about how an engine and its components work knows that a supercharger forces air and not fuel into the engine, similar to a turbo.
On the other hand, JC is well known for twisting and turning facts to make the show more entertaining, and as he was on a thrilling highspeed run at the time, he had other things on his mind than thinking about how an engine works. Still, I got the impression that he really doesn't know much about how cars work.
What do you think?
