Top Gear Season 10 Available In iTunes
For all the grief we give Clarkson and his two interns, we’re actually huge fans of Top Gear. It’s the show that made our carmosexuality OK with our moms. Amongst TopGearphiles, Season 10 is held up as the all-time greatest, featuring the Motorhome Grand Prix, the Channel crossing and, yes, the Kalihari special — probably the greatest episode ever. Each episode costs $1.99 or you can buy the whole season for $14.99. If you have the means, we highly recommend heading to iTunes for the downloads. -

Jeremy Clarkson In Head-On Accident Filming Top Gear, Doing Just Fine
Proving he's as bull-headed as we suspected, Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson was reportedly in a head-on collision during filming for the show. Says the Mirror, Clarkson "suffered minor injuries to his legs, hand and back." What, exactly, are minor injuries? Clarkson elaborates: “My right index finger looked like a burst sausage, my left shin was fatter than my thigh and my back felt like someone had driven over it with a pile-driver.” For her part, Clarkson's wife claims "my husband is fine." In other words, shut up Jeremy, and put on a band-aid. So, just for the record: Jeremy Clarkson is not dead. But, if he were, we've got a very nice obituary. [FinalGear] -

Real Top Gear Returns November 2
Originally intended to start on October 26th, Top Gear is now officially slated for a return to television on November 2nd. We can hardly wait for Series 12 to start, particularly because of the American road trip Jeremy and the boys had in a 2009 Corvette ZR1, 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. Though we'll have to see if their hour-long special trip to Vietnam is part of the upcoming series, or a stand-alone. [via TopGear] -

Jeremy Clarkson Loves The ZR1, But Says It Began "To Disintegrate” After Three Days
Writing in his weekly column in the ever-so-slightly left-of-center Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson expressed his love for the 2009 Corvette ZR1 before claiming “after three days the damn thing was beginning to disintegrate.” He may have just been "doing it wrong." Of course, this being Clarkson, the rest of the column was about the Chrysler Sebring, the War of Independence and his own insecurities that arise from him being a balding, fat idiot from a backwater nation who’s made a career on the tenuous appeal of his jackassery, so we don’t know if he was talking about the overall build quality (which we found to be peerless) or the interior (which we agree is unfittingly cheap for a $103,300 car). The rest of what Clarkson had to say and more of our analysis after the jump. More » -

Top Gear Spotted Filming Episode In Vietnam
Top Gear is expected to return next month; we've already seen that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May will be coming to America for an episode, and it now appears they'll also be headed to Vietnam for a tour of duty. Unlike their American trip to the Bonneville salt flats in which the chaps drive a Corvette ZR1, Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Cadillac CTS-V, the journey in Vietnam is allegedly happening on motorcycle. Well, three motorcycles we presume. Either way it's not going to be an easy trip from Ho Chi Minh City in the south to Hanoi in the north, but it will definitely make for entertaining television.

Clarkson Settles Down, Purchases Sensible Family Sedan
Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has finally acknowledged that his Lamborghini Gallardo and TVR-engined Land Rover may not be the most practical way to transport his family of five. So he's purchased a 38-year old Grosser Mercedes 600, noting that it's quite a bit less boring than cars like the BMW 5-series or Lexus LS600h. More » -

Jeremy Clarkson takes on thugs and wins
Confronted by a gang of teenage hoodlums outside his daughter's birthday party, Jeremy Clarkson went on the offensive. After grabbing the ringleader by his hoodie, the gang pulled out their mobile phone cameras in an attempt to frame the Top Gear presenter for assault. Writing in his Sun column, Clarkson said "Plainly this boy's parents are useless, allowing him to be out and about on the streets, harassing passers by." Clearly, the gang should have picked on Hammond instead.[Via The Daily Mail] -

Top Gear Moving, Maybe
Residents around Top Gear's studio/test track in Surrey have been complaining so much about the racket created by Clarkson, Hammond, May and their tame racing driver that the show may be forced to pull stakes and move to another locale. While some reports suggest that it could endanger the May start of the next season, the Top Gears maintain that whatever happens, they'll be on the air. More »
