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, […]
Top Gear Festival highlights – on video
at 7:49 pm on Thursday March 28, 2013The death of road manners
at 2:20 pm on Wednesday February 20, 2013
Why is everyone on the road becoming selfish, mannerless twats? Road etiquette is receding quicker than Prince William’s hairline. This morning, a taxi roared up the left lane next to me, like a giant white cockroach, torpedoing its way towards a parked car. The driver hit his indicator and wanted to evacuate via the right […]
VF Commodore: have your say!
at 10:45 am on Sunday February 10, 2013
You’ve just seen pictures of the new VF Commodore. And there’s an opinion in you dying to be heard. An educated, articulated opinion, of course, because you know your stuff. We want to hear it. This is, after all, the last Commodore ever. Or is it? Holden boss Mike Devereux threw a cat among the […]
The best car ads from Superbowl 2013
at 11:14 am on Tuesday February 5, 2013According to our American cultural correspondent, Richard Hammond, the Superbowl is some form of extravaganza celebrating the season finale of a full-contact team sport. 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 […]

at 7:55 pm on Thursday January 31, 2013
How do you deal with road rage? Shake your head and casually drive off? Or shake your fist and throw at your opponent whatever’s lying in the back seat – old Happy Meals, steering wheel locks, or the dog?

What’s in the TopGear car park today?
at 12:27 pm on Wednesday October 10, 2012
Last week, we asked you to guess what car was in the TG car park. And we severely underestimated how developed all your car guessing skills are. Basically, it was too easy. So we’ve attempted to make it a bit harder this week. (Keyword: attempted.) So it works a bit like this… 1. Examine the […]
Can you guess what’s in the TG car park?
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 […]

at 1:21 am on Tuesday October 2, 2012
The 2012 Paris motor show was a feast of many delicious new cars. But it also dished up a few that were simply vomitus. And so Ben Smithurst presents TopGear‘s awards for best. And worst. The Best The worryingly insane Mercedes SLS AMG. Following an odd Paris trend at having cars up on platforms but […]
