Ford Verve Concept - The New Ford Fiesta

At the Frankfurt Motor Show Ford is unleashing the Ford Verve concept. It is a concept of the Ford's next small car - a Ford Fiesta, obviously.
The concept car features 18 inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, inverted trapezoidal lower grille, deep magenta red colour - all the stuff you want, but won't get in the new Ford Fiesta, which comes in 2008. Which is very sad, because the concept looks gorgeous.

This video shows the making of the Ford Verve. It's quite interesting, because we can see the Verve in motion. And it's quite funny, because it contains some german people speaking english :)

Who is the real Stig? Try to find out!

There are a lot of rumors of the identity of the Stig. We all know now, that the black Stig is Perry McCarthy - a former Formule 1 driver and test driver for BMW F1.
However, who is the Stig - the white one? There are several facts we know about him, and some of them are gathered in this video:

Clarkson for president! Or at least for PM.

Great news, ladies and gentlemen! We now have a chance to make Jeremy 'Jezza' Clarkson the Prime Minister of the UK. What we have to do is to sign an online petition. 16315 people already signed it, ad you can be the next one!

And I wondered - how do we celebrate Jeremy's victory in this election? So I thought of the great thing - a massive destruction of stupid cars. And to see the example of the thing planned, let's see this video, where Jeremy Clarkson destroys a Lada with two trucks:

Top Gear office burns! Props destroyed

Some of Top Gear properties went up in smoke last night! That's no good. Details are not revealed yet, so there are reasons to be worried!

Audi R8 - Born of Powerful Ideas

Audi made their first attempt into the world of supercars with Audi R8. It's really powerful, it's loaded with technology, and it's styling isn't as strict as usual for Audi. So, presumably, it has to be brilliant. And in this video you can see the showcase of Audi's engineering:


But honestly, does this car have any soul in it? For me, it isn't a car. It's just a computer with a huge engine and four wheels.
Really, the next video, which tells us about making of the first one, is filled with much more emotion:

The Best Way To Lose

Here's a top tip: if you are winning - first win, and then celebrate. Otherwise you end up like this guy - losing.
So don't wave at the crowd while driving - that's just stupid.

Best Driving Song Ever

Yes, this is the famous "Don't stop me now" by Queen!
In this video the original video from Queen is mixed with bits of different Topgear clips. And it's brilliant! Video and music are perfectly synchronized, so you really get the feeling of speed and power.
So, turn up the volume, and don't stop from now on:

Sabine Schmitz drives the BMWRing Taxi

OK, so in this video our friend Sabine Schmitz (some people misspell her name as Sabine Schmidt) drives a BMW M5 around Nurburgring Nordschleife. She's really a genius - driving that fast around Nordschleife and chatting with passengers at the same time!
The price for one lap in the Ring Taxi is 185 euro. You can take up to 3 passengers in the car, so don't forget to take your friends :)



The best thing about Sabine is how fast she can drive really huge and sluggish vehicles around the Nordschleife - she mastered 10:09 in a diesel Ford Transit van, and 11:00 in Karmann Colorado mobile home!

Who is the Stig

This video is really funny. These dutch dorks really think they've met the real Stig. You can clearly see that they are terrified by this idea.

Bentley Continental GT maxxed out on ice!

So this is what happens when you put a powerful car on a vary flat ice! Bentley Continental GT with Juha Kankkunen at the wheel broke the world ice speed record, reaching an average speed of 321 km/h - that's 206 mph.
