So is racing them. All told, the car business spends billions every year and with such vast sums at stake you'd think the people involved wouldn't give desk space to Captain Cockup. Sadly, you would be wrong. Every department in every car firm and motorsport operation is capable of complete and abject failure, and on a surprisingly regular basis. Which is what this book is about. You see, \u003ci\u003eTop Gear \u003c\/i\u003eknows a thing or two about embarrassing mistakes, as anyone who watched our India special will know. The truth is, for many years \u003ci\u003eTop Gear \u003c\/i\u003ehas also regarded failure as funny.

So who better to take you on a gentle canter through 50 of the car world's biggest and most glorious failures? That's right, it's \u003ci\u003eTop Gear\u003c\/i\u003e.
