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 […]
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 […]
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.
Clarkson immediately suggests it is awful. Normally I might add ‘need I say more’? But that’s a rather trite response to this particular car. Owners are well aware that it’s not for taking to the supermarket run, or for ferrying your kids to school and back. They do know it’s for track days and even […]
Top Gear magazine, today announced that the Peugeot RCZ is its ‘Coupé of the Year’ 2010. The UK’s best selling automotive magazine took its assessment of the RCZ to the extreme by road testing it in Northern China in the proximity of the Great Wall; the first time the Peugeot RCZ has been in the […]
You may want to check out the pictures that are now available on the Top Gear website of the new series. Apparently, series 15 is coming this summer, which is good news for us – especially when the rumour was that the current format was to be axed due to viewer numbers declining (despite the […]
The excellent Skoda Superb estate is now on sale at your local Skoda dealership! The car took the Top Gear magazine for ‘Luxury Car of the Year’ (which tells you all you need to know really) and is the most luxurious and practical car to wear the Skoda badge to date. The Skoda Superb estate […]
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 issues. This, […]
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 […]
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 […]
