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 […]
Pagani Zonda Cinque – Hammond’s Drive +Video
We have video of Top Gear’s Richard Hammond driving the ultimate road-going Zonda – the Pagani Zonda Cinque – round the hills near Modena. Whilst we were busy wandering round the interweb today to make sure we’d got our facts right for the ‘Top Gear builds an Electric Car‘ piece, we came across a video […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
