Top Gear is back on TV for series (not season, bloody yanks) 12. It will start in the U.K. on November 2nd. Watch as it looks like the gents are taking their hijinks to the lorry (18-wheeler) crowd, the high seas and even back to the U.S.
As for the U.S., BBC America still has not shown series 11, and we know you haven’t been getting it for any illegal sources (wink, wink).
Jeremy Clarkson is out to prove he’s indestructible. He’s recently survived a head-on collision with only minor injuries, and even before that, he was risking his life with gunplay, rocketplay and wordplay for a new DVD.
Watch a preview for "Thriller", which may be more enjoyable than Michael Jackson’s version. For you lucky Brits, the DVD will be out November 3rd.
It has been confirmed that Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been involved in a head-on collision during the taping of the BBC show. He suffered minor injuries to his legs, hand and back. Clarkson, 48, said, "My right index finger looked like a burst sausage, my left shin was fatter than my thigh and my back felt like someone had driven over it with a pile-driver."
Although head-on collisions are always serious, it is good news that this seems Clarkson escaped major injury. Although all details of the crash are not yet available, it will be inevitable that there will be some news sources that may compare this to the much worse accident over two years ago that almost claimed the life of Richard Hammond. We can only hope that these incidents do not give opponents to the show the power to dilute a truly unique piece of TV.
Thank you Top Gear gents for being daring enough to bring us great television.
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.
