A Ferrari F40 has it, a Lexus hasn't. Concorde's got it, but not an Airbus. And while Titanic had it in spades, the Queen Mary 2 must have been in the wrong queue. Soul. Some machines matter to us while others are, well, just machines.
In his own inimitable way, Jeremy Clarkson tells the gripping stories of the planes, trains and automobiles that inspire us; and of the geniuses and visionaries that built them.
Lavishly illustrated, I Know You Got Soul is the perfect Christmas present for boys of all ages.

'Clarkson's mighty mean machines' Daily Express
It will come as no surprise to anyone that Jeremy Clarkson loves machines. But it's not just any old bucket of bolts, cogs and bearings that rings his bell. In fact, he's scoured the length and breadth of the land, plunged into the oceans and taken to the skies in search of machines with that elusive certain something.
And along the way he's discovered:
· The safest place to be in the event of nuclear war
· Who would win if Superman, James Bond and The Terminator had a fight
· The stupidest person he's ever met
· What an old Cornish institution called Arthur has to do with a 0898 chat lines
· And how Jean-Claude Van Damme might get eaten by a lion
In I Know You Got Soul, Jeremy Clarkson tells the stories of the geniuses, innovators and crackpots who put the ghost in the machine. From Brunel's SS Great Britainto the awesome Blackbird spy-plane and from the woeful - but inspiring - Graf Zeppelin to Han Solo's Millennium Falcon, they were built by people who love them. And we can't help but love them in return.
