Top Gear goes live!
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are going on tour, and there’s not a caravan in sight!
Instead the preferred mode of transport at today’s press launch of Top Gear Live is a bespoke, black liveried tank.
In typical Top Gear style, the three motoring presenters stunned drivers and saluted fans as they thundered across London’s Tower Bridge to mark the capital as the debut venue for its UK and world tour.
For eight days at two venues (October 30 - November 2) at London’s Earls Court and Birmingham’s NEC - Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow will host Top Gear Live at the MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show.

I must admit that the 70 limit on M-Ways is totally outdated, and assumes - as does the Highway Code with regard to stopping distances - that we all still drive Ford Anglias. EVO Magazine a few years ago tested the performance of an E-Type Jaguar from 1965 against a 1.6 Ford Focus. Crucially, and notwithstanding all of the pro-active crash protection in the Focus, the Ford stopped from 70mph in half the distance the Jag could.
Raising the limit to 80 in line with our European neighbours is sensible. We live in a world of “speed dating”, “next day delivery”, “high speed broadband”, “instant messaging”, yet personal mobility seems to be subject to slowing down.
Odd.
