    We've all seen Clarkson & co. do all sorts of crazy things in Top Gear... love 'em or hate 'em, they have made the show unlike any other car show.

    Now, we've been hearing about an American revival of the show, with comedians like Leno and Seinfeld at the helm... maybe because they happen to be car guys...

    ... or maybe because Seinfeld just did a flip in a public street with his emergency brake, while driving without brakes.

    From Reuters:
    http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0347066120080403
    "Jerry Seinfeld narrowly avoided crashing into busy intersection when the brakes of his vintage Fiat failed, leading him to grasp for his emergency brake and sending the car into a roll."
    ...
    "Seinfeld was unharmed and his car suffered minimal damage..."

    Probably not a Top Gear rehearsal.. but may as well be.. glad he wasn't harmed! Said the funnyman:
    "Because I know there are kids out there, I want to make sure they all know that driving without braking is not something I recommend, unless you have professional clown training or a comedy background, as I do," he said in a statement. "It is not something I plan to make a habit of."
