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 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). And what’s that [...]

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.

Nonetheless, as a Top [...]

The Investigation Into Richard Hammond’s Accident

July 11, 2009

I’m not sure I should be linking to this, but I assume that as it’s listed under the ‘Freedom of Information’ section then it’s fine to point to the Health & Safety Executive’s investigation into Richard Hammond’s crash (link goes to the downloadable PDF). It’s really interesting the way that it’s put together, especially from [...]
