Economic woes take a back seat as petrolheads rev up to hit Top Gear

TALES of financial woe took a back seat yesterday as Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May took Dublin by storm in a Bugatti Veyron.

Tens of thousands of petrolheads will descend on the Citywest venue to see the BBC presenters join in the celebration of all things motoring over the weekend.

By all accounts, Ireland is one of the trio’s favourite destinations with Clarkson recently describing Dublin in an interview “as the best city in the world to go out in”.
