Official Friends of Top Gear, Anthony Reid and Tom Chilton – both Touring Car drivers by day – make an appearance in this low-budget, car-tastic music video made by Owen Trevor – who also directs stuff on the telly show – for singer-songwriter Andy J Gallagher:
Pacing the room, twiddling your thumbs and crushing pint glasses to dust with your bare hands as you wait for the new series of Top Gear (which may or may definitely not start on June 21) on BBC Two? Then why not head down to Chelsea Flower Show?
The telly show this week has something of a green theme about it (which is a bit ironic ‘cos we could do with a bit of global warming here at the studio today, it’s freezing again).
Last night in London Jeremy, Richard and James officially revealed our Cars of the Year. You already know the shortlist – we let that out of the bag a few weeks ago – but the boys finally picked an overall winner in time for our awards bash, described by one onlooker as ‘surprisingly noisy’.
For a while, it looked like the appearance of London’s mayor Boris Johnson was going to be the highlight of the show. He was good natured with Jeremy’s probing, enjoyed his time, and gave the track as good as he could in atrocious conditions. But then Jeremy decided to do a roadtest.
It’s still freezing down at the studio, so the production team have cranked up the massive space heaters up between takes just to keep us moving.
The Mole is cold at the studio, but things are underway for Top Gear Rehearsals. Man flu seems to be doing the rounds but it’s not proving to dampen anyone’s spirits. Always a good sign of the show to come!
Don’t forget that if you missed Top Gear on the telly last night then you can watch it on the good old BBC iPlayer, if you’re in the UK. And even if you did see it, it’s worth watching again just for that beautiful Daytona vs James’ boat film.

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, […]
