Top Gear’s Lancia Collection Video

July 24, 2010

Top Gear approaches the legendary Lancia car collection in this video – demonstrating the fact that Lancia made some of the best (and worst) cars in history – but generally speaking they would rot away quite often! Ultimately, Lancia cars had a number of problems, but cars like the Fulvia Zagato are justifiably iconic.

Clarkson Reviews The X6 On Top Gear

June 30, 2010

Here, Clarkson provides one of his usual effusive (and rather expensive) reviews for Top Gear of a rather lavish slab of car, the BMW X6. Not small or shy by any means, it actually rather reminds me of the big man himself… The X6 is an ‘SAV’ or sports activity vehicle with coupe-like lines but [...]

Top Gear Is Returning!

June 14, 2010

It is official and direct from the horse’s mouth as it were, Top Gear is returning on our screens for more hijinks on 8pm on BBC Two on Sunday June 27th 2010. I am sure that you’re as excited as I am to see exactly what the boys get up to and what kind of [...]

Pictures Of The New Top Gear Series Being Produced

May 31, 2010

You may want to check out the pictures that are now available on the Top Gear website of the new series. Apparently, series 15 is coming this summer, which is good news for us – especially when the rumour was that the current format was to be axed due to viewer numbers declining (despite the [...]

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, ‘reality TV’, self [...]

Top Gear’s V8 Rocking Chair

December 6, 2009

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 [...]

Clarkson Drifting In Flippers…

November 27, 2009

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 [...]

Eric Bana’s Love The Beast

November 22, 2009

The trailer above is from the movie ‘Love The Beast’, written, directed and starring Eric Bana. It’s a documentary about his very own Beast, a 1974 Ford Falcon XB Coupe. The car has been in his life from the age of fifteen – and it was still going strong thanks to several rebuilds, until the [...]

Jeremy Clarkson’s Ford Fiesta Review

November 7, 2009

Yesterday I wrote about the sales success of the Ford Fiesta. I also briefly mentioned a review that Top Gear conducted, or rather a certain Jezza Clarkson performed on BBC2 (season 12, episode 6). If you’re looking for a ‘proper’ review then go elsewhere. However, if you’re after some entertaining TV that shows how good [...]

Jeremy Clarkson Driving A Nissan GT-R

November 4, 2009

This is simply one of my favourite Top Gear videos of all time. The Nissan GT-R is a proper Japanese performance car. Immense speed, grip, cornering ability and all manner of electronics going on in the background to keep you on the straight and narrow. Some perhaps were even more impressed that it managed to [...]
