Does Clarkson Do His Own Stunts?

August 17, 2011

According to the latest report from The Mail Online, that is certainly not the case.  In one particular case quoted, shots of Clarkson smashing around a wet track in a Lambo are interspersed with external (extremely quick) sideways moments.  Clarkson has driven all manner of powerful machinery, so there’s no reason why he couldn’t have [...]

Top Gear Test – New Vs Old Ferrari

August 9, 2011

Here Top Gear tests the 458 Italia against the might of one of the most distinguished cars of our time, the Ferrari 430. Naturally the new car is faster – but my what a difference a few years makes! I’m not surprised that the 458 Italia is the new poster boy for the upcoming Forza [...]

August 1, 2011

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. [...]

Top Gear Reviews Skoda Yeti

May 9, 2011

Sometimes it’s the unsung motors that are actually the every day heroes. Vehicles like the original Fiat 500 (a car for everyone) or the workhorse that is the invincible Toyota Hilux. The Skoda Yeti should go down in history but with so much choice, it may simply be lost in the crowd. It doesn’t mean [...]

What Not To Do To Your Lamborghini…

March 30, 2011

You may have seen this doing the rounds, but it appears as though a Chinese man has smashed up his incredibly expensive automotive toy – his Lamborghini Gallardo.

James May On Bikes

March 24, 2011

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 [...]

Granted, I can’t remember a movie with the Toyota Hilux in – but Top Gear has made it massively famous around the world. Previously known for being an excellent workhorse of a vehicle, the Hilux became famous for the fact that it could tackle just about any terrain, anywhere. It even survived the challenge of [...]

Did Everyone See The New Top Gear?

January 29, 2011

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 [...]

Top Gear Ascari KZ1 Review

January 24, 2011

This car is simply staggering. Ascari make beautiful cars. The KZ1 is a prime example of that. Granted you’d need to be quite well off to be an owner (in excess of £235,000), however you get to race it on a track that’s exclusive to Ascari. Want one? Yes please. Enjoy the Top Gear video.
