    Top Gear Unveils "Throne Of Gratitude," Honors UK Anti-Speed Camera City Councilman

    In this past week's episode of Top Gear, the boys awarded Peter Greenlagh, a city councilman in the little UK town of Swindon, the "Top Gear Trophy of Excellence" for taking a stand against speed cameras. Not only that, but Jezza announced the creation of the "Top Gear Throne of Gratitude," inviting Greenlagh to drop by the studio and have a seat anytime. Sure, it's not whipping the Nissan GT-R around the test track, but if anything deserves a standing ovation and bestowing of honorifics, a fight against speed cameras surely does. [SwindonWeb]
