Jeremy Clarkson is known partly for his amazing knowledge of all things cars, but a recent gaffe meant that he and his girlfriend were left stranded while inside of one.
While the former Top Gear presenter was trying out the Maserati MC20, a small glitch left his girlfriend Lisa Hogan trapped inside.
Writing in his Sunday Times column, Jeremy, 61, explained: "We were still in the pub car park because neither of us could find anything that even remotely resembled a door handle. ‘We’d have been screwed if we’d crashed into a lake,’ Lisa said."
A recent Grand Tour special, alongside James May and Richard Hammond, was recently released in December 2021 and producer Andy Wilman revealed that two more specials would be filmed this year.
"We should have shot all this stuff in 2020, we're going to be doing it in 2022 so we're two years behind and all our focus is on that at the minute," he said.
The new shows under the current contract will surely add to Clarkson's success, his career earning him a fortune alongside his recent exploits on Clarkson's Farm.

Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend is Lisa Hogan, a former Irish model and actress.
She was previously married to multimillionaire Baron Steven Bentinck and began dating Clarkson in 2017.
Clarkson said he was "proud" of her for choosing to go and live with him on his large farm which has become the subject of another hit show of his, Clarkson's Farm
Lisa, 48, is also part of the show and helps to run the Diddly Squat farm shop.
Clarkson said to The Times: "I am so proud of Lisa.
"How she has gone from – how can I put this politely – a sedentary and rather luxurious life to find herself living on a farm where she didn’t know anyone…"
How much is Jeremy Clarkson's net worth?
Jeremy Clarkson's net worth is estimated to be around £45 million, according to Wealthy Gorilla.
Starting out as a journalist on local papers, Clarkson eventually began writing about cars and helped set up the Motoring Press Agency in 1984.
He first appeared on Top Gear in 1988 and became increasingly well-known, featuring on the programme more frequently.
In 2002, he began presenting Top Gear in its new format, the success of which meant Clarkson raced to fame quicker than reasonably priced Chevrolet Lacetti around a race track near Guilford.
After leaving Top Gear in disgrace in 2015, Clarkson, Hammond and May embarked upon their new project – The Grand Tour – in a multi-million Amazon Prime deal.
How much does Jeremy Clarkson earn from the Grand Tour?
The exact amount Jeremy Clarkson is paid for his services on The Grand Tour is unknown, but believed to be a share of £160million.
This was the figure quoted – though described by Clarkson as 'nonsense' – that the famous trio were given by Amazon for the new series. A figure that included production costs.
Clarkson said of his high pay packet: "How could you be paid £100,000 for an hour’s work?” Well, it isn’t an hour’s work because every single time you put your foot out the door, within a minute someone’s going to ask you a selfie."
