The former Top Gear host has left the BBC and moved to Amazon Prime to produce a new series which is due to launch in 2016
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 […]
The Porsche Panamera is a good long distance cruiser but comes with somewhat challenging looks (that’s probably the most polite way of putting it). Some have wondered whether it’ll be seen as a classic in the future, as some cars are that get a rather mixed reception. Jeremy Clarkson provides his thoughts on this interesting […]
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.
From the second most recent series of Top Gear, here’s the classic review of the new Ford Fiesta by Jeremy Clarkson. It’s bizzare but no doubt brought a smile to everyone’s face when they first saw it – there’s nothing like a couple of cars tearing around a mall/shopping centre on a Sunday evening to […]
Take one superbly minimalist, extremely quick car and whack in a 500bhp 3litre V8. What do you get? The new Ariel Atom 500 V8. Terrifyingly, this machine has a more than serious 1,000bhp per tonne thanks to the setup of the car. Looking like a go-kart in steroids, when you strap yourself into a ‘standard’ […]
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 […]
If you’re confused, let me allay that sensation of not quite knowing what I’m talking about. A couple claim to have taken a photograph of the (in)famous Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame whilst he’s chatting away on his mobile. Adam Blake and Hayley Byford say that they saw Clarkson the phone as he travelled […]
