"

Clarkson owns various cars including a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, a Mercedes-Benz SLK55, a Volvo XC90, a Ford Focus, and an ex-military Land Rover Defender, and used to own a Ford GT. His experiences with his Ford GT are well documented, having had many issues with the satellite tracker/alarm system - he reported that it would tell him the car had been stolen even when he was driving it, among other problems, including the rev limit inexplicably being reset to 600 rpm. As a result of what he called "the most miserable month's motoring possible", he returned it to Ford for a full refund. After a short period, including asking Top Gear fans for advice over the Internet, he bought back his GT. He has called it "the most unreliable car ever made", due to his never being able to complete a return journey using it. In the October 2006 edition of Top Gear Magazine James May stated that Clarkson was looking to purchase a Gallardo Spyder. Clarkson announced at MPH'06 that he had ordered the Gallardo Spyder, with orange seats, and that he sold the Ford GT to make way for it. He also owned a Ferrari F355 for a short while. This was sold to make way for an SL55 AMG in which the SLK55 AMG succeeded it.[citation needed]

He has also owned a 1970s Alfa GTV6, and has a passion for the marque, declaring famously on Top Gear, "You are not a petrol-head until you've owned an Alfa". In his book I Know You Got Soul the Alfa 166 was one of only three cars classified as having that "special something". The Brera, Alfa's latest sports car, has been compared to Cameron Diaz and also been called "filth", or pornographic, by Clarkson."
