Top Gear Reviews McLaren MP4-12C

January 28, 2012

I’ve spoken before about the McLaren MP4-12C. It is an engineering marvel and proper supercar with the potent abilities to make a hugely successful GT car. That’s why I thought I’d share with you all the Top Gear review. Granted, Clarkson may profess that the Ferrari 458 Italia is the motor that touches him more, [...]

A Video To Mark The Year 2011 – Featuring The Lamborghini Aventador

December 30, 2011

There’s little else to say to round up 2011 than to cap it off with an aspirational supercar, review courtesy of Top Gear. In our lifetimes, very few of us will own one. It’s like owning a piece of art or an extremely expensive house. For most, it simply doesn’t happen. It remains something that [...]

Does Clarkson Do His Own Stunts?

August 17, 2011

According to the latest report from The Mail Online, that is certainly not the case.  In one particular case quoted, shots of Clarkson smashing around a wet track in a Lambo are interspersed with external (extremely quick) sideways moments.  Clarkson has driven all manner of powerful machinery, so there’s no reason why he couldn’t have [...]

Top Gear Test – New Vs Old Ferrari

August 9, 2011

Here Top Gear tests the 458 Italia against the might of one of the most distinguished cars of our time, the Ferrari 430. Naturally the new car is faster – but my what a difference a few years makes! I’m not surprised that the 458 Italia is the new poster boy for the upcoming Forza [...]

The final episode of the latest series of Top Gear has played out – as per Jeremy Clarkson’s reference in order to allow us all to watch ‘The X Factor’ drivel without interruption. If you saw it, I’d like to just put out there the question of what you made of the electric vehicle feature. [...]

James May On Bikes

March 24, 2011

It’s well known that James May has a motorcycle licence. He is, much like myself, an enthusiast for all things with wheels and an engine (the exception I make that proves the rule are planes, for which I have no desire to become competent in use!). As such, it’s worth a read of the latest [...]

Did Everyone See The New Top Gear?

January 29, 2011

I might be a little behind the times given that it was way back on Sunday, but I’ve only just gotten around to watching the new episode of Top Gear. Frankly, I was not at all disappointed. The Skoda Yeti review was superb and showed just how damn good the small van/4×4/people carrier/capable urban car [...]
