The National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, recently welcomed a very special visitor when Top Gear star, James May, paid a visit. James was filming at Beaulieu for a new BBC television series, and during a break he took the opportunity to drop in on the World of Top Gear exhibition. World of Top Gear features a collection of vehicles created […]
This review is fairly recent from the Top Gear archives. The lads compare two extremely quick and pretty hefty vehicles – namely the BMW 760Li and Mercedes S63 AMG. Both are essentially limousines, however May shows that just because you are likely to be sitting in the back it doesn’t mean that the experience has […]
The BBC’s Top Gear ‘terrible trio’ of Clarkson, Hammond and May never ceases to surprise, and Sunday’s (March 11) episode of the popular TV programme featured them trying their hand at rallycross for the first time – the results of which were surprisingly impressive! The aim was to prove that motor racing can be achieved […]
Well, the new series has kicked off and the legendary Top Gear has returned to our screens for series 18! I’ve no doubt that if you’re reading this blog then you have an interest in cars and thus Top Gear is a regular on your tv or computer. So, what did you make of episode […]
This is the all new Dacia (pronounced Dach-i-a) Lodgy! Is it something to get excited about? Oh yes. Set for a world debut at Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, the Lodgy is an MPV from James May’s favourite purveyor of reasonably priced cars. The Lodgy will be available in either five or seven seat […]
Wouldn’t you just love to whizz around the Italian city of Lucca as the lads are doing here? If so, which of the 3 hot hatches would you choose between the Fiat 500 Abarth, The Renaultsport Clio and the Citroen DS3 Racing? My money would be on the Fiat 500 Abarth, it is the only […]
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. […]
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 […]
James May provides yet another insightful article at The Times Online, discussing why we’re so obsessed with performance figures. To a degree, I’d say he’s right, especially with so many cars with similar levels of performance these days. Perhaps we’re almost reaching a plateau, where the next development in supercars won’t be to hit 0-60 […]
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 […]
