Hyundai ix35 – the ‘Top Deer’ Top Gear spoof advert
Hyundai has produced a Top Gear spoof advert for the South African market, with ‘Top Deer’ featuring the Hamster, the Wildebeest, the Turtle and’ The Stag’.

Vauxhall Ampera Hybrid – No range anxiety
Vauxhall are promoting a 350 mile run round the UK in a Vauxhall Ampera as the “Longest single road trip ever for an electric vehicle in the UK”. Except it’s a Hybrid. We’ve been moaning quite a bit about the claims being made by car makers for their electric cars. We understand that a big […]

Citroen C1 – backwards round a Multi-Storey to promote Dunlop
Dunlop has taken a trio of bright yellow Citroen C1s for a backwards jaunt round a multi-storey car park. We already know what a lot of fun the Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107/Citroen C1 are. We reviewed the 107 recently and had a blast. It really is as manouverable and chuckable as it looks when Top Gear […]
Use screenwash – or risk Legionnaires’ Disease
Researchers have discovered that car washer bottles are a big source of the Legionella bacterium, but adding screenwash kills the bacterium. To be entirely truthful, the risk isn’t huge. There are probably less than 500 cases a year of Legionnaires’ Disease in the UK, but new research points to a likely cause for an unpleasant infection […]
