That's not your usual mode of transport! Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson races through town centre on a mobility scooter



Being a Top Gear presenter is probably every man's dream job and now it's clear to see why.



The show's famous faces Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May spent today racing through a town centre on mobility scooters.



The trio were in Abergavenny, South Wales as they tested out the mode of transport.

Surrounded by several onlookers, and no doubt fans of the BBC motoring show, Clarkson, 51, looked rather cold as he sat aboard his red scooter.



Wearing jeans, a brown jacket and a grey scarf, he didn't look too enthusiastic as he rode up the high street.

It's no surprise that he wasn't enjoying the experience as he is used to testing out some of the world's fastest and luxurious cars.

Or perhaps his sombre mood was due to the fact that the show has come under fire due to Clarkson's antics on the Top Gear India special.



The BBC has refused to apologise following 'hundreds' of complaints from British and Indian viewers.



Clarkson caused outrage after he stripped down to his underwear when the show had in fact promised to highlight the beauty of the country.

His co-host Hammond looked in far better spirits today as he raced along the street in an army-inspired scooter.



The 42-year-old, who is the youngest of the three presenters, also wore jeans and looked determined to win the bizarre race.



Grey-haired May appeared less excited and was riding a rather different mobility scooter that was complete with several pairs of wheels.
