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’. We don’t do a lot of ‘Funny Adverts’ on Cars UK. We also don’t do a huge amount of ‘Cute Animals and Cars’ adverts either. But sometimes an advert […]
Top Gear build Motorhomes +video
The Top Gear boys are out filming for the next series of Top Gear, this time building Motorhomes and cooking petrol-station meals. Top Gear may turn up on our screens for just half a dozen episodes at a time. But those one hour episodes take a big chunk of the rest of the year filming, […]
Top Gear blamed for Iceland Volcano eruption
It appears Top Gear is responsible for the massive volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajoekull which is causing travel chaos in Europe. The skies above our heads are beautifully quiet. The vapour trails are no more and the sky is pure azure. The UK has wound back 50 years and the sun is shining. From where I’m sitting it’s hard […]
Top Gear in Icelandic Volcano
The Top Gear boys are busy filming in Iceland for the next series and have been seen driving a Toyota up a live and active Volcano. Top Gear is off air at the moment – if you don’t count the endless repeats on BBC2, BBC3 and Dave – and that usually means that the boys are off […]
Fifth Gear on TV – the Return
Fifth Gear – FIVE’s answer to Top Gear – is to rise from the ashes and return as a more test-focused programme. First episode will air in April. Fifth Gear was everyone’s second favourite car show on TV. And that second favourite label seemed to be its undoing when FIVE decided last year to ditch the show […]
Top Gear’s Stig spotted – at Loch Ness
Top Gear’s Stig has been spotted standing on the banks of Loch Ness by Google’s street view cameras. Why? Two of the biggest mysteries in the UK are the Loch Ness Monster and Top Gear’s Stig. And Google has brought them both together by capturing the Stig standing on the side of Loch Ness on […]
Top Gear BMW X6, Lexus LF-A and Insignia VXR – tonight
The final outing for Top Gear this season tonight includes Jeremy in a BMW X6, Hammond in a Lexus LF-A and Captain Slow in the Vauxhall Insignia VXR.

Top Gear in Bolivia
The Christmas episode of Top Gear – on at 7.45pm tonight – features the boys in a road trip across the Amazonian rainforest in Bolivia in a trio of battered 4x4s. It may be Christmas, but at least we still get a new episode of Top Gear this Sunday – Episode 6 of series 14. But […]
Top Gear Art Gallery and Noble M600
Top Gear returns to BBC2 tonight for episode 5 of series 14, putting on ‘Car Art’ exhibition in Middlesbrough and playing with the Noble M600. Time again for the reminder that Top Gear is on the box tonight. Actually, this series has been all over the place, what with changing times and missed weeks, so unless […]
Top Gear, Belfast and a Renault Twingo
Top Gear plays in Belfast with a Renault Twingo, sewer tunnels and the harbour, and manages to get cars to the top of the Harland and Wolff cranes A couple of months ago we reported that Top Gear had upset Belfast with its filming antics for the latest series. To be fair, they didn’t upset […]
