Fuel rationing – if that phrase doesn’t send a shiver of terror down your spine then you either don’t drive or you’re a mad greenie. I would be firmly against any such proposal (I like my metal screaming fast or failing that screeching tyres, hair waving in the wind) and it sounds very big brother […]
(image from Tyne Tunnel Website) Most of the time, I’m reporting in the North of England. I’m not going to add anything else really; apart from that it is a good place to be. However, the Tyne Tunnel (soon to be plural) is a terrible place to be. Why is that? Well, apparently chaos is […]
Apparently, the most dangerous road in the UK has been listed as the A537 in the Peak District. You’re more likely to be killed there – in fact thirty times more likely – than you if you’re on a standard motorway. The road goes from Macclesfield to Buxton (though I’m sure that is a matter […]
The Honda NSX is a pretty famous supercar – first due to Clarkson trying to do the same lap time at Laguna Seca as he did in Gran Turismo, and second because it is the only ‘real’ supercar that is at an affordable price range. However, this looks set to change when the new variant […]

However, these same people probably climb into their 20MPG Aston […]
If Jeremy Clarkson can accept (however begrudgingly) that climate change is a fact, I suppose that I can too. However, one thing I’ve never heard him have any sort of positive comments about is this whole idea of eco-towns. For the purpose of this article, a quick explanation of what exactly constitutes an eco-town is […]
The original Toyota Aygo is a very good car. The original was produced on a common platform with Peugeot (the 107) and Citroen (the C1) and released back in 2005. It is safe (with a 4 star NCAP rating), comfortable and economical. It won’t win any speed awards but for the price you pay it’s […]
If you’re reading this blog then you probably have watched Top Gear before, even if you’re not an avid watcher like me. You may well then be happy to know that the series, after a nice break, has returned back to our televisions tonight to appear on BBC 2 at 8PM. Get it bookmarked/Sky +’ed […]
