It looks a bit like John got out of bed on the wrong side this morning judging by the piece he did on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. But then has a big hang-up about what he sees as unnecessary weight saving. But being a fat old man that’s hardly surprising! He still bangs […]
Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake Fake +video
Well, we got sent an email – actually, more than one – on the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake. And although we were pretty sceptical we decided – after the third or fourth drip of information – that there might be something in it. So we reported last week on the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake which […]
The Hamster wrecks his Morgan!
Oh, dear. Richard Hammond has become accident prone. Perhaps it’s his mid-life crisis hairstyle, or maybe he was dazzled by the reflections from his teeth in the rear-view mirror. But whatever the reason, he’s managed to wreck his Morgan Aero by running in to the back of Nissan at a roundabout. The Hamster was apparently […]
Jeremy Clarkson Beatbox – The Jezza Rap!
OK, it’s a pretty quiet news day. So we’ve been surfing about a bit and have come up with a clip some smart guys have done with our Top Gear man – Jeremy Clarkson. All Top Gear fans are used to Jeremy’s facial expressions and odd mimicking of sounds. You probably remember when Tim Rice […]
Jay Leno does Top Gear w/video
So what, I hear you say? Somebody does Top Gear every episode. True enough, and some of them, like Michael Gambon, are witty, intelligent and fun. Some are not. But Jay Leno is special. At least to petrol-heads. Jay Leno, probably best known for his US chat show (retrd.) – and his hosting of the […]
Top Gear Ken Block Video
There have always been the odd duff episodes in Top Gear over the years. But this season is stacking up to be a corker, and that’s going to be a problem. Why? Well, just like the rest of you we’re big fans of TG. And it’s hard to resist the temptation to post a video […]
Top Gear Veyron vs McLaren – the Video
Last week’s Top Gear featured a drag race between the McLaren F1 and the Bugatti Veyron on a closed road in Abu Dhabi. Both the Supercars of their time. But what was the result? Well, in all probability you already know, but just in case you don’t – or you want another chance to see […]
Top Gear Stig is Michael Schumacher – the Update
It is nice to be ahead of the game. We received umpteen emails after we ran a story last week about Top Gear revealing the identity of the Stig as Michael Schumacher in the opening episode of the new series. It is astonishing how much people love the show (but we include ourselves in that). […]
Top Gear reveals the Stig as – Michael Schumacher!
A new series of Top Gear is due to start in the UK on Sunday, and it looks like the TG team are starting the hype to get things moving. We soon get used to there be nothing much worth a watch on TV on Sunday evenings, and I know we usually end up trying […]
KTM X-Bow – want a drive?
The KTM X-Bow is another of those four-wheeled motor bikes – just like the Ariel Atom. Open, exciting & thrilling in equal measure, it’s about the best way to have real fun on the roads (flies and weather permitting!). KTM is an Austrian Motor Cycle manufacturer which has woken up to the possibilities of making […]
