Over the weekend, we got an email in tips saying that old episodes of Top Gear are no longer free on Amazon Prime. Goddammit! Amazon confirmed this distressing news.
Top Gear host Chris Harris and a Top Gear magazine executive were uninjured after the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring they were in crashed into the side of a pickup truck that was reportedly attempting a three-point turn in the road.
There isn’t much to this video, if I’m honest. It’s just a small man in a small French car having a great time wailing around the track. Chris Harris loves Citroen 2CVs so much, he owns one. This example, though, is a full-on racing car. And a nutty one, at that.
BBC’s Top Gear has two new leading hosts alongside Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness and Andrew Flintoff, who are two white English dudes instead of the promising co-hosts Sabine Schmitz and Rory Reid. Since neither come from journalism or racing background, you may be wondering if they can drive! Turns out they can, at…
Everyone’s favorite BBC motoring show has been in a state of near-continual flux since Jeremy Clarkson punched a guy over some cold cuts, got fired and took his buds to Amazon’s The Grand Tour. Now Top Gear returns for a 27th series, and beloved YouTube tire-slayer Chris Harris is back as well—with two new fresh faces…
Around two years ago, it seemed like the website and quasi-social platform DriveTribe could be the next big thing for gearheads everywhere. Launched with the financial and promotional support of Grand Tour hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, it promised a fresh new home for user-created stories as…
Please, McLaren Senna owners, take your cars on road trips. Please, don’t keep them under wraps in a climate controlled basement somewhere. Take your incredibly engineered, incredibly expensive, and incredibly ugly cars out for long haul road trips, because cars were built to be driven. You probably don’t have…
In late 1983, Poland was just stepping out from under the crushing weight of martial law from an extremely oppressive government, which suppressed pro-Democracy activism, ruined the economy and directly led to the deaths of dozens. After martial law was lifted, old Top Gear visited the country to explore its…
A Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, a car which makes a McLaren F1 seems like a Honda Accord, is going up for auction at Pebble Beach. Now may be a good time, if you’re interested in dishing out what’s projected to be over $4 million, to talk about that time it caught fire during the shooting of Top Gear.
Ladies, have you been searching for that perfect undergarment, one that supports, lifts and often catches fire? Have you been looking for a bra that, when you raise your shirt in a romantic setting, causes your partner to point at your chest and say “Hey! I recognize those from TV!”
Fifth Gear, the other British car show—you know, the one that’s still mostly about the automobiles—has been off the air for years now. But today we have great news from host and race car driver Tiff Needell: Fifth Gear is back.
Some sad news for those who, like us, thought the reborn Top Gear was really hitting its stride lately: Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc, who has been a presenter since 2016, is leaving the show after its next season.
If you watched the Top Gear episode on American V8 muscle and left turns and decided to put the race track the hosts visited on your bucket list, you should hurry up with it—Rocky Mountain Raceways, which will forever be the place where Sabine Schmitz terrified Chris Harris for life, will close after this season.
For nearly two decades now, the Top Gear test track has been at an old military airfield in Surrey, South East England. But soon enough, the Hammerhead and Chicago turns will be a park, the Bacharach looks like it’ll become some kind of water feature, and a roadway looks to be planned in the Gambon’s place.
You might think a guy like Chris Harris, who frequently drives cars engineered to the highest degree of performance, has no patience for anything resembling a people’s car. But as featured in the latest series of Top Gear, he’s absolutely in love with his 1957 Citroen 2CV.
By a show of virtual hands, how many of you saw the newest Top Gear episode that aired over the weekend? The Japan episode? Was your mind blown? Because mine sure was.
For many of us, myself included, Top Gear was the mecca of car shows. Not only was it funny and entertaining, but it also widened the appeal of cars to our friends and family who wouldn’t have otherwise cared in the slightest. By 2015, the show claimed more than 350 million viewers worldwide. That’s a lot of weight on…
Chris Harris, as you might know, is a host on a little show about cars on BBC America called Top Gear. And with the show’s newest season set to premiere this weekend, we sat down with him to chat parking tickets, fire and his role on the biggest car show in the world.
Tesla has come a long way since it sued Top Gear over Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the Tesla Roadster in 2011. After swearing off Teslas for years, Clarkson gave in and decided to review the Model X for his new show The Grand Tour, but this time he decided to play it safe. Extra, extra safe.
There’s nothing better than sweet confirmation from your peers. Yesterday we were singing praise for the Chevrolet LS7 7.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 and today we’ve got a very famous television star affirming it.
