TopGear Drivers' Handbook

rated 6 out of 10: read to pass the time
Lots of fun, lots of chuckles, suitable for any fan of TopGear. Any fan who can read, anyway:-)
The Handbook is not a story, it's a collection of jokes. Some possibly new jokes, some old jokes, plenty of funny jokes.
What is missing is an overall theme.
Okay, it's a spoof of motoring handbooks. Yet it's not satirical -- just jokey. No clever digs at motoring associations, just a lot of absurdities. Many of which could as easily fit into, for example, a sporting club's handbook. Or a tourist guide. Or... any spoof on almost any topic.
There are plenty of car references. Really, though, it's just a collection of absurd humour. With no growth of the theme across the various sections.
Read a few sections, get a few chuckles, put the book down -- you will not have missed much. The Handbook offers a series of moderately funny sections. Cut to fit the motoring theme, otherwise unrelated.
Read, chuckle, move on.
