We all love TopGear, and Jeremy Clarkson is a big reason for it. But there is also a reason for the two other blokes, and that’s becomes completely clear in this sketch from the BBC comedy duo Harry and Paul. They show us that a Clarkson overload my not be the world’s best thing.
Haven’t you felt just a little guilty about getting pirated episodes of Top Gear from torrents and YouTube? Well you should have (yeah we’re all guilty,) but now there is a much more legal way to get some of your favorite episodes. Top Gear has officially launched its own channel on YouTube.
Now all you have to do is get some actual work done at the office occasionally.
If you’re not in part of the World that gets BBC2, or you don’t cheat and get it online, you may be missing out on the latest series of Top Gear. Until the new episodes get to you, watch as German sportscar maker Gumpert has got the guys at Top Gear pretty excited with its Apollo. This Audi-based supercar uses its 650 horsepower twin turbo V-8 to set the new track record.
As we are in the middle of Top Gear’s 11th series (BBC viewers), we thought thought we would bring up again one of their greatest mysteries — who is the Stig?
There are claims saying he is Jenson Button, others say is Damon Hill, and now the latest ones say he might be the NASCAR and F3 Driver Ben Collins. Take a look of the video, do you think he can be the one?
Top Gear USA. The thought makes fans cringe with fear of the idea that the world’s largest car market may mess up the world’s greatest car show. There is also optimism that this is wrong, and NBC gets the show right. Well we will all find out soon, because the pilot for the U.S. network version has been completed.
It seems that the new program may be showing signs of real promise. The U.S. version is reported to have taken many cues from the original U.K. show including the set details and “Star In a Reasonably Priced Car” interview segmant. Also many key production people from the BBC show were on hand for this pilot.
The new crew of Adam Corolla, Eric Stromer and Tanner Foust need to bring the humor and camaraderie that fans expect from the original. This is kind of chemistry can take while to develop – James May replaced Jason Dawe in the second series of the show’s current format. Hopefully one audience member of the U.S. show was speaking for the whole group when he said, "That is the most funny Adam Carolla has ever been." But also remember Adam Carolla is a true car guy, and he did a fine job harnessing male-oriented adrenaline on “The Man Show”.
This is how a Top Gear test ended: with a crashed GT-R. And this is indeed the same car that the Stig tested on the Top Gear test track.
Apparently, the driver of the Audi R8 following this Nissan GT-R could not stop in time and ran into the back of it. All this happened while shooting for an upcoming Top Gear Magazine issue on the Isle of Man.
Probably all of you who read this news are really big fans of Top Gear show. For those folks who are interested to watch Jeremy Clarkson live we have a tip: everyone has to register on a waiting list in order to be invited at the well-known TV show. The bad news is that this list has already over 336,000 names, mathematically meaning more than 20 years wait. So, if you really want to participate in this show you really have to hurry and sign up on the list as there are little chances to see a smaller list.
TopGear executives finally announced who will be the trio for the American version of the prestigious franchise.
Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer will have the responsibility to make the US version a success.
The show will start recording at the end of the week and will probably not be aired before late in 2009.
Jeremy comment about the new upcoming show “This is fantastic news - but how on earth you lot are going to do it on the wrong side of the road I’ve no idea.”
Let’s hope the American trio will live up to the very high expectation we have for this show.
Press release after the jump, includes more info about the producer and hosts credentials.
TopGear is shortly coming back with more speed and bollocks from Jeremy Clarkson, the Hamster and the old Bloke. Everybody is waiting for the season to restart, nevertheless the BBC is putting together some promotional TopGear ’moment’ to keep the pressure. Enjoy
On today’s TopGear blog, Andy Wilman, the executive producer of Top Gear, is telling us that Clarkson was bluffing when he told some "socialist hippies at a book festival" that he scored a 186 mph on public roads with the Veyron: "Now the thing is, you’d need a frigging Tardis to do 186 mph in the Limehouse Link". For those of you speaking proper US English, it means that it is impossible. We think it is very possible as the tunnel is 1.1 mile and the Veyron can reach the quarter mile in 10.2 seconds at 143 mph.
Anyways, Mr Wilman now blames everybody for harassing Jeremy, aka Jezza. "we’re in danger of becoming a country where it’s a crime to be fatuous, to make mischief or just practice the fine art of talking bollocks." said the producer.
So who got the biggest ’bollocks’, Jeremy or his producer, who’s trying to convince us that Jeremy cannot push the Bugatti to 186mph under one mile :)
