I’d be interesting to know what you all think of the review above. I actually quite like the mini 4×4 looks – it’s a bit more ‘honest’ than the X3 (which according to some has very little off-road ability too) and it isn’t being sold as a ‘go everywhere, do anything’ vehicle. Rather, an upmarket […]
Watch the video. I really don’t feel the need to add much more! In all seriousness, when I first watched Travis Pastrana making the jump in his modified Subaru Impreza, I stopped chewing my sandwich. Then when he landed, I almost choked! Well done to Mr Pastrana for making the 269 foot jump (and for […]
Here’s a great new video from Autocar – it’s an interview with the designer of the new MINI Beachcomber concept. Gert Hildebrand talks Autocar through the car, including inspiration, features and the reason behind the concept. It looks extremely funky and I can see it selling very well, albeit in a form that loses some […]
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). And what’s that […]
The Citroen C3 offers a funky, viable alternative to many other superminis out there. The Fifth Gear review presented here by Graham from the office is great and offers something that maybe Top Gear hasn’t for a while – some genuine, real world advice. I’d be surprised if we don’t see more cars with the […]
Really, if you missed Top Gear last week then… you shouldn’t have. This video though offers some insight into what the TG lads cooked up. You can safely say that you won’t have seen anything quite like the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust. Some would still offer that it’s better than some electric vehicles out there though. […]
This is one of my favourite clips from Top Gear – even though it doesn’t actually feature a car! It does though have a 6.2 litre V8 Corvette engine that powers a rocking chair. Absolute madness, but brilliant. Still, for my money, nothing has eclipsed the Rocket Robin that sadly didn’t get to space but […]
Yes, the Insignia VXR Sports Tourer in the video is badged Opel, but it’s a GM so really it could equally be a Vauxhall. Anyway, the point is that I think this is a cracking looking car and as it’s a VXR will no doubt pack a very good punch for the money. Kudos to […]
Yes, you did actually read the title right, though I’m sure that you’re thinking that you didn’t. A certain Mr Jeremy Clarkson demonstrates totally unsuitable footwear for car driving, yet still somehow manages to get a beautiful Jaguar XKR round a few corners… sideways! Just how the man does it is anyone’s guess. But, does […]
For those of you who don’t know what the first thing is, it’s an incredibly powerful motorbike. So this is the classic ‘which is faster, a motorbike or a car’ question. In the car’s favour you have better cornering ability and improved agility/a more settled nature. For the bike, you have a huge power to […]
