When Top Gear and Toys “R” Us collide
Even though all the Top Gear boys are pretty childish, I think Richard Hammond was left doing this review.
Jason Barlow’s well shot CR-Z review
Jason Barlow is one of the motoring journalists who I respect most. I have read and watched his work for many a years and the effortlessness and fluency of his writing is highly enviable. Even though he has stepped out of the broadcasting limelight since his days at Driven and Top Gear, it is good to see ...
Top Deer takes cringe to a whole new level
Have you got your hands ready? You are going to need them in a minute so you can put your head in them. This is Hyundai’s new advert for the ix35/Tuscon and it is hard to watch. Trying to parody a show which is running out of originality isn’t the most creative thing that Hyundai could have ...
Jeremy Clarkson’s nightmare
Rat rods are pretty spectacular things. Custom built cars that intimate the bare bones of early hot rods of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. I am mesmerised by most of the unfinished rat rods but this one takes the biscuit. Made from a higgledy piggledy bunch of parts, this car is nearly impossible to decipher ...
5 reasons why Micheal Schumacher is not The Stig
So The Stig has been revealed. It’s Michael Schumacher if you didn’t watch the season premiere of Top Gear. But The Stig hasn’t actually been revealed, he has been “revealed” according to the BBC. The Stig is not Michael Schumacher it is just Andy Wilman playing his clever games again. Remember a couple of months ...
Motorfood poll: “Should Top Gear officially announce The Stig’s identity?”
After the last post, we were thinking about the role that The Stig plays in Top Gear. Stiggy is a fundamental part of the show and has always kept it grounded in times when extensive budgets and timed scripts haven’t. He acts as the placebo for the show and is now seen as the ultimate ...
Back in black
Some say….that he is Ben Collins but The Stig’s true identity still hasn’t been publicly declared. With the online media and newspapers sprawling over different claims about whose identify lies behind the tame racing drivers helmet, Top Gear want to keep the media buzz around. The latest trick Stiggy’s PR company has pulled off, is ...
Jezza what were you thinking?
As all petrolheads know, God rested on the seventh day because Top Gear was on. As motoring disciples we must do the same. So when I sat down in my comfy church/sofa last night, to hear my weekly sermon from Pope Clarkson, Reverend May and Altar Boy Richard Hammond, I was slightly put off by the ...
Porsche Panamera: what’s it all about?
Over the last few months we have seen many pictures of the Porsche Panamera but they have all been under pre-production Hannibal Lecter masks. Finally Porsche have ripped the sheets off their four-door grand tourer and I don’t really know what to think about it. I can’t make my mind up about what I think about the ...
