Top Gear’s Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Car Review

Some car manufacturers are more than just that, they are marques. A manufacturer becomes a marque by having history, producing iconic cars and quite often being involved in motorsport.

Top Gear Coming To An End?

December 22, 2009

I read today that it’s possible that Top Gear is coming to an end. Were the worst to happen and it left our screen, I’d be genuinely gutted. It is more inventive, more entertaining and perhaps more insightful than 90% of other TV on at the moment. It’s also not a soap, [...]

Top Gear’s BMW Z4M Review

December 16, 2009

Richard Hammond is one lucky fella, taking the Porsche Boxster S round the track as well as the BMW Z4M. Both great looking fun sports cars – but which would you have? The Porsche arguably has the badge but the Z4 for me has the looks (four exhausts, huge air intakes etc). [...]

August 20, 2009

There’s no doubt that this is one of the best Top Gear reviews ever. The Ariel Atom is simply a fantastic car (one which I should be driving on my next track day) and Clarkson is clearly enjoying the ride.

Clarkson’s Test Drive Of The Fiesta

August 9, 2009

From the second most recent series of Top Gear, here’s the classic review of the new Ford Fiesta by Jeremy Clarkson. It’s bizzare but no doubt brought a smile to everyone’s face when they first saw it – there’s nothing like a couple of cars tearing around a mall/shopping centre on a Sunday evening [...]

Pagani Zonda F & Bugatti Veyron

July 23, 2009

Here, James May is driving one of my favourite cars of all time. It’s the Pagani Zonda F. Whilst the Veyron may have mullered it in a straight line, the Zonda demonstrates the advantage of having a lightweight car around a track – managing an ultimately faster time. Laugh whilst May spins [...]
