In an effort to try and keep as many classic “Top Gear” fans from bolting when the new “Top Gear” starts in May 2016, BBC is loading in segments from what we are calling “classic” “Top Gear” during the holiday season. This is the ambulance challenge from Series 22…
The final “Top Gear” – the Series 22 finale that is a mish-mash of what would have been the normal series’ final episodes has aired in the UK on BBC 2 and is expected to come to BBC America later this week or month [it has yet to be announced]. For now, you can view […]
The BBC rid themselves of that troublemaker Jeremy Clarkson – but they are still in the business of making money – and so they have decided to air the “lost” three episodes of “Top Gear” from Series 22 that were excised from the schedule after Clarkson was suspended for his now-infamous “fracas” with a show […]
The seventh episode of the season is a relatively lackluster affair beginning with Jeremy opening up the episode with a road test of the Jaguar F-Type coupe and while he likes it just fine, what he really likes better is the replica from Eagle of a 1960 Jaguar E-Type prototype one-off that costs nearly $1.5 […]
The sixth episode of the season began with Jeremy overseeing the defeat of the Lexus RC F by the BMW M4 around the vaunted Top Gear test track before he crashed it and replaced it with one of his perennial favorites – the Lexus LFA. Next came the first installment of the contrived “plot” of […]

The fifth episode of the season began with Richard Hammond testing then comparing the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the Porsche Cayman GTS which consisted of a price comparison [approximately the same] and a power/agility comparison as determined by laps around the Top Gear test track and won by the Corvette [1:19.8 lap] over the […]
The much-awaited fourth episode of the season with actor Will Smith as the featured guest finally arrived. But before Smith took his spot on the stage, there was the little matter of a few road tests. First up was the Mercedes AMG GT, which James took around the track and declared to be acceptable despite […]
The third episode is in the books and it was somewhat anticlimactic as everybody already knew Red Bull Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo had set the new Top Gear test track record with a sizzling lap time of 1:42.2 in the Reasonably Priced Car – as it was widely tweeted and touted prior to the […]
The upcoming third episode of Series 22 of “Top Gear” will feature a “challenge” between Top Gear’s resident tame racing driver, The Stig, and Red Bull Formula One driver, Daniel Ricciardo, who finished third in last year’s final driver standings. The challenge may or may not have something to do with ambulance driving. Episode Three, […]

Top Gear has – finally! – begun its 22nd series with the boys going off to St. Petersburg, Russia [presumably prior to Vladimir Putin the Nutball’s various shenanigans] where they proceed to engage in a good old-fashioned challenge through the Russian city pitting James in a French electric car [Renault Twizy], Richard on Chris Froome’s […]
“Top Gear” premieres shortly and what better way to announce that momentous event than in LEGO version…

While you are patiently awaiting Series 22 of “Top Gear” to begin later this year, The Stig took to the track to take the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 for a little spin. Alas, the car will not be included in any of the upcoming Series 22 episodes as it arrived to the Top Gear test […]
