He’s responsible for 28 number ones. He drives a Maserati. He doesn’t like rev limiters. And he won’t listen to Jedward unless it’s absolutely necessary. It is, of course, Mr. Louis Walsh.
Well, there you have it: the final show of our current run. What have we learned? The presenters can’t agree on the Lamborghini Aventador, Louis Walsh has surprisingly decent taste in music, the current crop of electric cars are the new laser discs, and the injured boys in the Armed Forces Rally team are truly […]
Hello again. So here we are, approaching the final show in this series of Top Gear. Yes, only six shows this time around for various complicated reasons that I won’t bore you with now but which can be boiled down to the usual ‘quality not quantity’ argument. Also, we’re all very tired.
He’s a Knight of the British Empire, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, immeasurably successful recording artist and best-selling author, but THIS is the pinnacle of Bob Geldof’s career – a drive around an unpopular part of Surrey in a keenly priced Korean hatchback. By his own sweary admission, Mr G doesn’t like driving (or Mondays), but […]
So there you have it. The British Army’s store cupboard makes a reasonable fist of demolishing parts of Kent, Jeremy can actually fit into a Formula One car, and all three presenters are seriously considering their own nostalgic detective spin-off.
Hello again. So here we are, standing on the sun kissed foothills of the fifth show in this series of six. Except, since we’re in the middle of a British summer time, the foothills are not sun kissed at all and are in fact being rendered moist and depressing by irritating bouts of drizzle.
Now stop trying, because you won’t be able to do it. You can’t say ‘Bob’ and make millions of people laugh. Or ‘petrol pump’. Or ‘airbag’. No, there’s only one man for the job. And that man is the new fastest celebrity around our track.
Well, there you go. A V16 Rolls Royce Phantom (who knew?), Jeremy driving Jaguar XKR-S ‘sports brogue’ and some face-distorting cornering in a Nissan GT-R. And let’s not forget the boys’ fiery attempt at improving Britain’s railways.

TopGear.commers with children under the age of ten will already understand this headline (and probably have the theme tune aurally tattooed on their lower cortex). For the rest of you, welcome to the world of Phineas Flynn, English stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, and bossy sister Candace, three cartoon characters who can never agree, and repeatedly hatch […]
So, Tuesday saw a dramatic end to a long, but fun season three of Top Gear USA. TG.com had a chat with the hosts to find out which moments of the season were tops – and which sent them into therapy…
If you want to find the most extreme winter off-roading on the planet, set your compass for Iceland, located in the middle of the freezing, seething North Atlantic. In Iceland, glacial ice does battle with volcanic magma, and the locals have evolved extreme vehicles to conquer these torturous conditions. American trucks once ruled supreme in […]
While Hollywood has convinced the world that most Americans live a short walk from warm California beaches, Yanks spend much of the year quite literally freezing. Snow falls in all 50 states, and slick roads mean treacherous driving. Equipping your car with proper winter tires, a stronger battery, etc. can run upwards of $2K. Instead, […]
