From the nation that gave us some of the safest cars on the roads comes the Keonigsegg with a rather safety-defying top speed. Its brutally fast as Jeremy Clarkson testifies as he tries to reach its top speed – a staggering 245mph. But is there actually enough track to reach the top speed? The bit [...]

Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond pay homage to some truly great Lancias except the Lancia Beta whose rusting qualities were truly legendary! I love the one that has the license plate almost fall off when hitting a bump in the road (a bit more comes off too). [Top Gear]

The long-awaited U.S. version of Top Gear is headed to The History Channel, and now it’s time to get your first taste of the show. Tanner Foust, Rutledge Wood and Adam Ferrara are the new show’s hosts. The program will not stray from the BBC original’s successful formula of cool tests and zany challenges. I [...]

The Top Gear trio try to complete the limousine test by taking some celebrities to the Brit Awards. Watch as Jamelia gets embarrassed, Chris Moyles is involved in a mini-roundabout nightmare, and Lemar seriously loses his temper with James May. [Top Gear]

Convertible limo sounds like a good idea….until now. After some serious car bodging, the Top Gear trio take to the track for paintballing and manoeuvrability tests in their rather ‘unique’ stretched limos. First up is Richard and his extremely long MGF convertible, followed by Jeremy in an even longer Fiat Panda, and then James in [...]

Having received another letter from a disgruntled viewer, Jeremy Clarkson heads to Belfast to conduct a very ‘thorough’ road test of the Renault Twingo. Sadly, the test is more rough than it is thorough for former EastEnder Ross Kemp who inexplicably finds himself in the boot of the Renault! [Top Gear]

Richard Hammond travels to Abu Dhabi to road test the Lamborghini Murcielago. There’s even time for a drag race between the lights against a Mercedes SLR before heading back to England for Stig of Arabia’s power lap of the Top Gear track. Please Lord, give me a job like this, lol. [Top Gear]

Firetrucks are built like Ferrari’s! Richard Hammond enlists the help of several touring car drivers to answer the question on the lips of every holidaymaker in the departure lounge – what is the fastest airport vehicle at Heathrow? [Top Gear]

The boys have been entered into the Majorca Classic Car Rally but first they need a car! So with £3,000 burning a hole in their pockets, its off to a car auction. With the boys racking up penalty points at an alarming rate, day one of the rally hasn’t gone to plan! Day two sees [...]

James’s airship caravanning adventure hits the rocks as he drifts into Norwich airport’s airspace while Richard, unsure of which caravan park James will actually end up in, undertakes a tour of the South East in the Lamborghini Gallardo! [Top Gear]

Here’s part 1 if you missed it. Looks like he survived, no awesome car show host position for me. [Top Gear]

Sooooo, if they kill him I call shotgun on replacing him in the show, BEST JOB EVER! Part one of two. Jeremy Clarkson heads to a British Army testing area in Dorset and pits a Mitsubishi Evo against an array of military hardware in an extraordinary off-road race. [Top Gear]

Those high speeds and the racing just looks like an amazingly fun way to test a car. [Top Gear]

i love the obstacle course at the end. [Top Gear]

[Top Gear] [Top Gear] If you missed Part 1 go back and check it out here. Here’s the last bits of the Land Rover Discovery Climbing Challenge to climb the Scottish Mountains. Top Gear is awesome!

Part 1 is simply an intro to the new Land Rover Discovery and at the end it starts to get into the challenge, part 2 should be interesting though, climbing the Scottish Mountains! [Top Gear]

Check out Part 1 here. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: The Ford GT is simply a gorgeous car! [Top Gear]

Just in case you still didn’t know, I freaking love the Ford GT, go here for some proof. So when the Top Gear Youtube channel releases clips on it I am going to post em Part 2 coming soon! [Top Gear]

The Top Gear team loves their football games in these tiny compacts. With the release/review of the new Aygo (iGo) they saw an opportunity to have another game of football (soccer). Gotta love it, looks fun! [Top Gear]

The people over at Top Gear were nice enough to give us an entire episode of their show to watch!! Here the Top Gear guys create their own car to compete with other hybrid and min gas savers. I’m not sold on the thing just yet, lol. Click here for the TechEBlog link that has [...]

The people over at Top Gear were nice enough to give us an entire episode of their show to watch!! That is awesome because I have never actually seen much of the show besides the short clips floating around the web. Be sure to catch the part where they are speeding around in the underground [...]

Part 1 Part 2 They did trash talk the beloved Aston Martin but also had a lot of good to say about it too. In case you forgot, I LOVE ASTON MARTINS! [Top Gear]

Another sexy ride gets reviewed and raced by the Top Gear crew. This thing FLIES! With Richard Hammond still under Paul McKenna’s hypnotic influence, its left to Jeremy Clarkson to test the new £312,000 McLaren SLR out on the Top Gear track. With a blistering top speed of 209mph, the Lamborghini Murcielago’s days at the [...]

Catch part 1 here. Haha, here they have to get each other in trouble but have to try to stay out of trouble. Gotta love the Top Gear challenges! By the way…”man love rules”? lol, just watch the vid. Wait for the moment when they pull into a gas station, things get heated. They had [...]
