Steve says it’s a foreign automaker: That makes sense. The Big 3 are hemorrhaging money anyway. Here are my “favorites” for the deal. Please note, my predictions are based purely on conjecture. (more…)

If You’re a Car Guy, This is a Very Good Thing
April 10, 2007 · No Comments
It appears Top Gear is putting together an American version. While I am excited, I am skeptical because unlike their show on BBC (sans ad breaks) the American version will need advertisers and therefore probably the car manufacturers. Will manufacturers let them call cars crap if they putting money into the show and into the hosts’ pockets?

The Greatest Car Show of All Time
February 27, 2007 · No Comments
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the greatest TV show about cars of all time. It’s called Top Gear and it’s broadcast on the BBC. I got hooked on it from youtube and now am downloading the torrents each week. It consists of three dudes testing supercars, arguing over supercars, and then taking on insane projects like launching a Mini down a ski jump, creating an amphibious car, making a convertible minivan, building a Caterham in less than 8 hours, etc. Their latest stunt was to attempt to building a reusable rocket out of a tiny three-wheeled car called a Reliant Robin.
I’ve attached a part of the Space Shuttle episode along with the Land Rover vs. a Tank bit. It makes for terrific viewing.
Unfortunately, BBC has been pulling down many of the videos from Youtube, but they are available at Topgear.com, http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/ or at Finalgear.com, where you can get whole episodes… for now.
