Dipsticks – and other suggested names for Jeremy Clarkson’s new show

As the nation prepares for the return of Top Gear – three figures loom elephantine in the room. Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May – soon to return with their own motoring-magazine show on Amazon TV. Just one problem, though – the fellas can’t think of a proper name – it’s currently lumbered with the snappy title of Untitled Amazon Motoring Show. As ever, Clarkson’s problems are all of our problems, and we have endeavoured to think of some potential titles on his behalf. (Clarkson has pointed out on Twitter that using the word “gear” is verboten for legal reasons, so that’s out.) Here you go, Jeremy. Take your pick. Don’t thank us with cash. A slap-up steak dinner will suffice
