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 out there though. […]
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 nimble, attractive piece […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well, the plucky little fella is at it again – this time injuring himself apparently by going running. Whilst this doesn’t compare at all with his previous injuries sustained in his crash driving a drag car, nonetheless the other string of incidents shows that he’s more than a little accident prone. Nonetheless, as a Top […]
Jools Holland is one of the celebs who has taken part in the Fastest Lap Times competition on Top Gear, in a Suzuki Liana. On a recent visit to the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Holland cheekily snatched his lap time to gain a more favourable position over the other celebs! See the famous Lap Times […]
There’s no doubt that this is one of the best Top Gear reviews ever. The Ariel Atom is simply a fantastic car (one which I should be driving on my next track day) and Clarkson is clearly enjoying the ride.
