Posted by Top Gear Australia at 7:49 pm on Thursday March 28, 2013

This post is brought to you by MyPlates. We’ve had a lot of feedback about the TopGear Festival, held in Sydney earlier this month. There’s been a few morsels of complaints (mostly about the Stig never smiling in fan photos) but, on the whole, most were positive. Couldn’t make it out there? Thanks to MyPlates, […]

Why is everyone on the road becoming selfish, mannerless twats? Road etiquette is receding quicker than Prince William’s hairline.

The best car ads from Superbowl 2013

Helmets are worn, lawns are ruined, and advertising executives entertain the enormous numbers of viewers while they re-fill their burgers during the breaks. Not American? Would rather skip several hours of […]

Can you guess what’s in the TG car park?

Posted by Top Gear Australia at 6:15 pm on Wednesday October 3, 2012

Psychologists and other brain people argue that we must play chess and complete Sudoku puzzles otherwise that, in age, our marbles will be lost. But, if we’re honest, while these activities might exercise the atrophying fibres of your brain muscle, they will send you insane with impatience. Which is where your friends at TopGear.com come […]
