In a surprise announcement, motoring guru and host of BBC's Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, has claimed that Honey Boo Boo, the 6 year old star of smash hit, US TV show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, came to his assistance after the vintage Mini Cooper he was test driving broke down two miles from his Hampshire home.
Clarkson said "The car was behaving perfectly until all of a sudden the engine began misfiring before eventually cutting out. I had a look under the bonnet, but as everybody knows, I'm hopeless mechanically and can barely work out how to empty the ashtrays, so I was a bit flummoxed to say the least. As I stood there staring forlornly into the engine bay I heard a small voice pipe up from behind me "Hey mister, y'all havin' a problem there?"

Naturally | offered to recompense the diminutive redneck youngster for her kindness but she flatly refused to take a penny from me, saying, "Mommy done tole me not to tek no money from no strangers. She done tole me that there's some mighty strange sonsobitches out there and that if ah see me one, ah have to git while the gittin's good and tell the deputy"
A spokesperson for the BBC said last night "We're absolutely delighted that Honey Boo Boo came to Jeremy's aid, although to be honest it's no more than we'd have expected from the inbred little poppet. We have already written to her mother with a view to featuring her in our next series as A Star In A Reasonably Priced Pickup With Horns On The Front"
