Captain Slow and the Capri 2.8 Injection
2009-08-03 01:31:00 Catching up on some old Top Gear episodes today, I came across Season 13 Episode 5. Our three heroes face yet another cheap car challenge - this time a drive to France in three old rear-wheel drive sports coupes (pronounced "coupe-aaa..." in British): a Porsche 944 (Clarkson), a 300ZX (The Hamster), and a Capri 2.8 Injection (Captain Slow, although with a reasonable 160 HP). Several tasks were given, including trying to beat The Stig around a race track. Everybody failed at that, and of course the Capri over-heated (giving me a deja vu moment... in my own Capri, an earlier 1974 model, the over-heating occured in the dead of winter, requiring a major repair in sub-freezing temperatures and a wind chill well under zero degrees). And then there was the braking test: in 200 meters, accelerate to 60 MPH and then brake. If you fail, you run into one of your favorite possessions. Of course, Captain Slow crashed into his own piano and destroyed it. Another test was a ...

Jeremy Clarkson Obituary
2008-10-14 01:11:00 Well he's not dead yet... but should somebody finally have enough of the opinionated SOB and do him in, here is an obituary that is ready for use at any time: Yes, this is one of the hottest rumors today on the internet... so hot that even YouTube's allegedly ultra-fast servers can't keep up with it. If Clarkson ever does get killed... expect financial systems to collapse, expect the major auto manufacturers to merge, expect Ford to sell off the company that saved it's a**, and worse. Oh, wait, that's exactly what happened this week. Maybe Clarkson really is dead?

Something Awful parodies Top Gear Challenges
2008-08-18 01:08:00 We're right in the middle of watching every single episode of Top Gear (that is, in the J.C. years, or Jeremy Clarkson - not the series before which goes back 20 years and has an entirely different cast and purpose) and noticed this of Top Gear's infamous Challenges that Something Awful produced. <right click> and <open in new tab> http://www.somethingawful.com/d-/news/top-gear-challenge.php&nb-sp; It's right on - although there is one historical inaccuracy and one Challenge that has been obsoleted: 1) James May wasn't in Series 1 - he didn't come along until Series 2. 2) Big Foot truly exists - we read it on the Internet just this past week! The complete list, from Something Awful, follows (note that they are incorrectly using the term "season" - in Britain these are known as "series"): Season 1: Episode 7Hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May purchase three hatchbacks for under £1,000 apiece, then determine which is th...
Japan Car Blog reviews Top Gear 11.04 GT-R vs Bullet Train race
2008-07-17 08:28:00 The always excellent Japan Car Blog reviews the latest episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson raced a Bullet train across Japan. The Hamster and James May were in the bullet train and their journey also included a shuttle bus, another train, a ferry, and a ____________ (can't say, don't want to spoil the surprise or the great soundtrack that plays during it). Jeremy got the GT-R and a 400-mile route to follow from western Japan thru Tokyo and across the bay to the finish. Their blog includes low-res segments of the race: http://japancarblog.com/2008/07-/top-gear-clarksons-ego-in-gt-r--vs-bullet-train/ (suggest- <right click> and <open in new tab>) or the entire episode is available via torrent sites. They also correctly point out that some of Jeremy's comments are culturally offensive. Actually the entire cast makes more than a few gaffes, and they all look tired and glad to get it over with. James May looks particularly worn out, or perhaps he is just...
Did Top Gear plagiarize Ben Hur? ;-)
2008-07-04 21:14:00 Plagiarize - it's an ugly word. It means that you don't have an original idea and blatantly copy one from somebody else. It is, unfortunately, a situation that has occurred before on Top Gear. Top Gear started a new season in Europe last month and enthusiasts everywhere are working hard to see the broadcasts... by whatever means they have at their disposal (we don't want to know about illegally pirated copies and torrent downloads - perhaps if they'd skip the silly idea of attempting to recreate Top Gear for Americans and just send us the originals...????). Season 11, Episode 1 has a typical/Clarksonian stunt involving the cast building their own police cars (at a cost of no more than 900 pounds) and equipping them (500 pounds). So few quid doesn't yield much in the way of valuable police equipment... and of course the guys aren't trained in legitimate police tactics. So of course improvisation is the order of the day. That's where Clarkson makes his mistake... bl...

Jeremy Clarkson wants to be UK Prime Minister?

A petition, posted on the official Web site of Prime Minister Gordon Brown (www.pm.gov.uk), calls for Brown to step down and make Clarkson, 47, prime minister instead.As of Friday, 30,311 people had signed the petition, making it the sixth most popular posted on the site, which since November 2006 has allowed any citizen to make a proposal and try to garner popular support via online signatures.The campaign for Clarkson, submitted by someone called Joseph Dark, now outranks arguably more pressing issues such as "Reduce the rate of fuel duty" and "Reverse the decision to cut vital UK contributions to Particle Physics and Astronomy," which have 11,700 and 10,050 signatures respectively."We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to make Jeremy Clarkson Prime Minister" reads Da...

Video: Jeremy Clarkson says 4X4 = uncool, bad sex?
2007-11-13 04:52:00 In the video above, Jeremy Clarkson, host of the popular English car show Top Gear, removes all the four by fours from the cool part of the Top Gear cool board. His reason? Cars are all about getting women and socialist women, who he claims are better in bed, don't like four by fours. Here are his exact words:We're beginning by moving all the four wheel drive cars down. All of them are doing down... Times have moved on, Richard, 21st century and all that. ... No, listen, I agree with you, I agree, I am sure with most people here, that four by fours are not killing polar bears but. ... cars are all about pulling women, for us obviously, yes, do you know what I mean, for blokes, it's what it's all about. You are not going to pull socialist women with these because they don't like them. ... socialist women are better in bed than Tory women. ...They're not cool anymore, driving around in them, They're just not.Jeremy also compares Vanessa Redgrave to another woman I did not recog...
Video: Jeremy Clarkson says Porsche 911 Turbo cleans LA?s air
2007-11-12 02:00:00 In the video above, Jeremy Clarkson, host of Top Gear, says the Porsche 911 Turbo cleans the air in polluted cities like LA. While, I have seen concept cars that can clean the air, I seriously doubt any existing car, especially the Porsche 911 Turbo, emits exhaust that is cleaner than air, even air in the most polluted cities. Here is exactly what Clarkson says:When you drive this car through a really polluted city; Los Angeles, Calcutta, Harrogate(?), something like that; the gas coming out of the exhaust pipe is less toxic than the air going into the engine. And I am not joking, that's true. This then is like a small, efficient, easy to use vacuum cleaner. They should have called it the Porsche Dyson.So, here's the question for a Sunday afternoon. What do you think? Is he wrong or does he have a definition of toxic that I don't understand?[Source: YouTube]
