Film director and Mr ex-Madonna – Guy Ritchie – has managed to wreck four cars in his efforts as a Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. There have been one or two ‘Stars in a reasonably priced car’ who seem intent on wrecking the Top Gear car. Most of those have been our Colonial cousins […]
Toyota Prius – Top Gear City Car of the Year
The new Toyota Prius has been awarded the Top Gear City Car of the Year award. I’m not too sure how much input the Top Gear boys – Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May – have in the judging of the Top Gear Awards. But we would have to guess precious little judging by the announcement that the Toyota Prius […]
Top Gear Balloon Caravan Crash tonight
In episode 3 of the latest Top Gear series James May crashes a hot air balloon / caravan, Clarkson drives a replica rally car and SIARPC is Chris Evans. It’s Sunday again, so just the usual reminder that our favourite Car Show – Top Gear – is on tonight with an all new episode. Tonight’s […]
Top Gear Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust – Official Press Release
Following on from the Top Gear Electric Car episode this weekend, the TG boys have followed up with a press release for the ‘Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust’. The Top Gear Press Release on the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust is a great parody of the usual flowery prose car makers issue with their new creation and is definitely […]
Top Gear builds Electric Car
Episode 2 of the latest Top Gear series airs tonight with the boys building an electric TVR and driving the Audi R8 V10 and Corvette ZR-1. Update: As Top Gear gave their electric car to Autocar to test (they should have given it to Cars UK!), we thought we’d update this post with the Autocar […]
The Stig – Some say he was arrested…
Top Gear’s Stig has been arrested twice recently. Once by the Garda in Dublin and once by a truck load of soldiers in the Mojave desert. As you may have noticed, we have run a couple of Top Gear stories lately. Nothing new there – we often catch up with the antics of the TG […]
Top Gear upsets Belfast
Top Gear has been condemned by politicians for its extravagant stunts whilst filming a piece for the next series in Northern Ireland. We ran a report a week or two ago about the Top Gear boys filming a piece for the next series in the Carpathian Mountains. The locals loved it. We had loads of […]
Top Gear’s James May crashes
Top Gear presenter James May has crashed in to a field in a hot air balloon in Cambridge whilst filming a race against Richard Hammond for the next series of Top Gear. Crashes and Top Gear do go hand in hand. Which is hardly a shock. You can’t play silly buggers and come out unscathed […]
Top Gear does Romania
The Top Gear Crew are out filming Series 14 in Romania on the stunning Transfagarasan Road in the Carpathian Mountains with a Ferrari, an Aston Martin and a Lamborghini. We won’t get the latest series of Top Gear (Series 14) on our screens until November, but the Top Gear Crew are out filming – in […]
Focus BEV in Jay Leno’s SIARPC – the Green Car Challenge
Jay Leno had Drew Barrymore and a Focus BEV for the first heat of the Green Car Challenge on his NBC Show. We like Jay Leno. He has petrol (or gas) running through his veins. He’s a proper petrolhead (gearhead – no more, you don’t need the translation). We enjoyed his live launch of the […]
