Why Sunday’s Top Gear Was The Most Haggard Episode Ever

Sunday’s Top Gear was the worst ever, because it was more predictable than a Christmas pantomime. Don’t jump straight to the comments to argue just yet – hear me out and then see if you dare disagree that TG was an embarrassment this week.

Every Top Gear episode worthy of the name should have a track-based power test in it, but as soon as they start going off down the ‘old cars are more fun than new cars’ blind alley it’s going to be a long night. And so it was with Porsche vs Singer , just as it was with Shelby GT vs Mustang GT, or Ferrari GTB vs GTS. Oh, and no, there’s no way James May was driving those lairy oversteer shots. I couldn’t quite tell if it had been deliberately badly edited to dupe viewers into thinking May is a drift king though. Maybe it was an accident.

Ah yes, the Porsche Shall we play Top Gear Predictable Porsche Joke Bingo? Points for ‘engine in the wrong place’, ‘they’re all the same’, ‘engineering their way around the problem’ and not forgetting Jeremy pulling a HILARIOUS bored face while May and Hammond argue around their carefully script sorry, ad-libbed and natural routine.

So, onto the ‘news’. Watch enough Top Gear and you expect a cringeworthy sort-of stand-up performance

The future of electric vehicles

Updated: October 22,

I love all (well, most) things automotive. I've been an avid fan of cars and associated vehicular gadgetry since the tender age of four or so. Even then, I could tell different vehicles apart just by the sound of their engine (perhaps this is not something I should brag about). I've read and collected hundreds of car magazine issues in four different languages. Track days, car reviews, almost daily driving in car simulators, you name it. And then, recently I've read a whole bunch of articles talking about the overall decline in EV sales, particularly in Europe, where regulations be important

Also recently, I've been rewatching old Top Gear seasons. In particular, Season 12 Episode 7 got stuck in my mind. It was when James May drove a hydrogen-powered Honda Clarity, and talked about the future of electric vehicles. This was 16 years back, and here we are, in a world where electric vehicles do not look like the cars of today, and based on the market readings, they don't seem to be the future, either. I decided to explore this topic a bit more, and share my opinion.

What do you think of electric vehicles?

Before we dive in, I must answer this question. My stance is: neutral. In reality
