I discovered this bit while scouring the interweb for news on the Cheverolet Camaro Convertible, which I’m sure will come out eventually.

In some ways it’s hard to believe that Top Gear has been around for 14 seasons now. The main reason is, that’s not quite true. It’s only the current iteration of Top Gear that has just started it’s 14th season.

The show itself has been around for a lifetime and started out as a typical car show. Here’s the latest Austin Healy, isn’t it grand? Watch as we show how easy it is to park and tell you all about how it achieves 26 mpg.

From a humble car show, Top Gear has grown to be arguably the biggest show in the world. It is viewed by over 350 million people in over 100 countries. That is only the publish stats, there are thousands more that download the episodes and share them around p2p networks.

Take a look and read the history of the show. It’s my favourite TV show and there was a bunch of stuff that I didn’t know.

Cheers,

PS Remember the uproar around Jeremy Clarkson’s Lorry driver comments. Someone created a game about it and it’s still the most read post on my blog. You can re-visit it HERE

Now, I love Top Gear and have for many many years.

Anyone that watches the show knows that Jeremy Clarkson is a big boofhead that doesn’t take anything seriously. They will also know that he’s funny and opinionated.

The big fuss over his recent Lorry driver comments have caused quite a stir and at least one flash game where you get to run him over.

The original story is here

Personally I don’t care about the comments and think that people are far too easily offended these days. People are quick to assume that OTHER people will be offended and leap to be offended themselves so they can be early on the band wagon.

Bad Taste? Certainly. Sackable? I hardly think so.
