Looks like even Jezza’s nay-saying about the Tesla Roadster’s on-track performance can’t keep the car’s buzz from growing. Our good oil barons friends over in the Middle East can’t get enough of the battery-powered ride – so much so that many have gone so far as to import their own since the car isn’t legally [...]
Not so long ago, our favorite cranky auto journo Jeremy Clarkson laid the weighty crown of Top Gear’s best car of the year on the Caterham 500. And we were happy. If you’ve spent any time around Autofiends at all, you know we’re suckers for open-wheel hoonage, of which the Caterham reigns supreme. Once the [...]
Ah yes. A little while back, our favorite hoons across the pond had their way with Tesla’s wonder child, the Roadster. It’s no secret that Jeremy Clarkson has his reservations where EV’s are concerned, and during his review the Tesla received a less-than-favorable evaluation. Tesla responded by saying some of the events portrayed in the [...]
By now, you’ve probably seen the proper thrashing Clarkson gave the Tesla Roadster in the latest episode of Top Gear. Seems the boys and girls at the little ‘lectric company that could have taken offense to some of the statements broadcast across jolly ole (and the interweb) and have responded via a tasteful letter to [...]
Man, shoulda called it “Jezza vs. Tesla.” Anyhow — Jezza — the man that says things like, “[T]he whole global warming theory is bonkers. A complete fairy story” goes one on one with the (current) poster child for sustainable driving, the all-electric Tesla Roadster. Er, more like goes one on two, as the first Roadster [...]
It can be said that the Top Gear crew tends to spend more time giving high-performance cars a thorough shake down than the econo-boxes that make their way into the studio. Never one to let complaints fall on deaf ears, er, one to let a chance to ridicule his audience slip by, Jeremy Clarkson has [...]
Remember Jeremy Clarkson before he was so jaded? So callous? Remember when Top Gear didn’t have a production value to rival Rhode Island’s state budget? Yeah, we don’t either. But videos like this exist to prove that time existed once. Perhaps in a galaxy far, far away. The video after the jump details Clarkson’s purchase [...]
Imagine a world where an entire island is dedicated to the breeding of more Jeremy Clarksons. No, we’re not talking about England. Jokesters Harry and Paul have done up a sketch ripping on our favorite Top Gear UK host, complete with a sheep Clarkson herding Stig. Our favorite line? “You have to clip them twice [...]
And where else could Jezza, the Hamster and Captain Slow have possibly done this? Nowhere other than Abu Dhabi. The crew from the most beloved car geek show on YouTube the tube managed to run three of the super rare, super fast Bugatti Veyrons – including the even more rare Pur Sang edition — at speed. [...]
Yeah, he crashed. While filming an episode of the new 12th series of Top Gear it turns out. No one knows (or they ain’t saying) what Jezza was driving or what he hit (or where) but the important news is that he’s fine. And, knowing Top Gear we’ll see the crash soon enough. And they’ll make [...]
