Top Gear’s Alfa Romeo 147 GTA Car Review

February 21, 2010

Some car manufacturers are more than just that, they are marques. A manufacturer becomes a marque by having history, producing iconic cars and quite often being involved in motorsport. Alfa Romeo is considered just such a marque and is known for creating some beautiful automotive creations, that unfortunately used to suffer from reliability [...]

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, [...]

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). [...]

Top Gear’s Eco Car

December 9, 2009

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 [...]

Ford has won two BBC Top Gear awards this year for two extraordinary cars. The first, the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, is Ford’s lowest CO2 emitting model, producing only 98g/km, snapping up the “Green Car of the Year” Award. Of course, that’s not the only reason that it took the prize. It’s a [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
