Top Gear



one of my hostel mates introduced me to these 3 wise men who host top gear UK. to be very frank i was never a automobile enthusiasts and in my chart a sexy looking , luxurious sedan will always be on top and the ferrari's and porche occupied the bottom space. i know i sound way different but that is what i used to be like, a guy with very  poor knowledge of their types.

but the series top gear, came as a ray of  hope in my dying interest for automotive industry. the 3 wise men, namely - jeremy clarkson, richard hammond and james may are such amazing presenters. they changed the way i ever looked at any street car. i was a part of drive train team in my college's FSAE team, Formula Manipal but never in my 8 months of work i ever developed such an interest in automobiles.



From the Bolivian Salt stretch to the North Pole. Racing against the bullet train and even winning it. From driving on the mafia streets of Albania, to being on terrible and manic roads of India. They got themselves struck by lightning and have test driven the Range Rowdy in the Death Valley. They have been to the extremes.
Driving the 54 inch Peel P50 to BBC HQ and wandering about in the Marauder of the South African military forces just adds to the list.  And how curious they were to know the faster one, our sexy Veyron or the Euro tycoon fighter.

The three wise men of Top Gear UK have done everything possible to entertain their viewers and themselves. They have seen every horizon every landscape on this planet, in cars that you and I would never expect to last more than a few miles. That is just staggering and unimaginable.


i love jeremy's ultimate sarcasm, richard's reviews ..actually they are pretty nice ones and jame's  innocence.
its just the perfect combo of a veteran BBC presenter, a radio jockey and an engineer doing the best job in the world. driving around in cars that are older than my grandpa :D . the BBC , worlds richest broadcasting network has surely given the world a series which will tell our future generations, the car their ancestors drove.

if you have watched it, you know what i mean and if you havent then start as soon as possible.

take care
enjoy!!
