Every year since 1996, Jeremy Clarkson has released his own brand of annual DVDs, all of which have had a very similar flair throughout. Each DVD will normally contain its own theme, and are often a good source of entertainment, even if not quite as sophisticated as Top Gear.

In this release, Jeremy attempts to find "the best handling car in the world, ever", in comparison to the previous editions quest to find the overall "best car in the world ever." The bulk of the release is therefore catered to this, as Jeremy, along with Tim Harvey and Richard Burns, pits 10 of what he considers the best handling cars around the track, before coming to a decision. This is one of my personal favourites out of all of his releases. As well as cheesy guitar music throughout, these releases also have an annual tradition of Clarkson destroying "some kind of awful car", which for me is always the highlight. In this instance, Jeremy destroys:

The FSO Polonez - two of these cars are put in an elaborate game of conkers, by smashing them into each other before the inevitable explosion.
The Chevrolet Corvette - chased through a desert by a helicopter gunship, which is eventually hunted down. One of his most technically spectacular feats to date.
The Lada Riva - torn in half in a quarry.

These destruction acts, plus the remaining ones in all of his DVDs, can be found in a recent mix I made - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TzNeEHhARY

Plus he buries a Toyota RAV4 in manure, though it's not technically destroying it I wouldn't fancy driving it again....
